We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. --Albert Einstein

CIV

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I ey'd,
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold,
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd,
In process of the seasons have I seen,
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand,
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd;
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd:
  For fear of which, hear this thou age unbred:
  Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.
 	--William Shakespeare

O, thou art fairer than the evening's air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars. -Faustus, 1604
