William Butler Yeats

« All quotes from this author
 

I write it out in a verse—
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.
--
St. 4.

All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

 
William Butler Yeats
 

This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vain-glorious lout.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy;
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

 
William Butler Yeats
 

The elements, though they can be changed, cannot be destroyed. Again, everything destructible is changed by time and grows old. But the world through all these years has remained utterly unchanged.

 
Sallustius (or Sallust)
 

Reality has changed, and we changed with it. However, I never changed sides. I have always been on the side of justice, democracy and social equality.

 
Dilma Rousseff
 

When the weather changes and hurricanes hit, nobody believes that the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed. It's the same stock market with the same mechanisms and the same people.
