I have to answer Frost and L'Englw with Sandburg
Simply because Frost and Sandburg did not care for each other. Frost though Sandburg an ass and Sandburg (my hero) though Frost anal.
WHO AM I?
MY head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading "Keep Off."
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Carl Sandburg
nice quotes
Nice post
Greetings from India
good-heartedness and sincerity. yup.
Sincerity is definitely a trait to be wished for in everyday encounters.

Oh that Oscar Wilde, you've got to love him :)
Wow! I like the question you leave us about truth and knowledge. I also liked the quote about sincerity. Not sure about Oscar Wilde... putting women on a pedestal has always been a way of marginalizing them. How can they make meaningful contributions to society in a male world when they are supposed to just be looking lovely and receiving adoration?
I'm not quite sure I understand L'Engle's quote.
Thanks very much my Dears!
Am I the only one who sees a bird shaped cloud(ia) in that last image? It puts me in mind of a golden roardrunner tearing off to the right.
A great post, Cloudia!
Someone I once worked with insisted that 'the secret to success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you have it made...'
Sadly she was (on some levels) considered successful. Not by me.
Thanks for these quotes. You are very expert to choose them. Kisses from Italy. Summmer is very bad here.
Ciao bella!

Avast, there be spammers here, ye maties....
That last photo's stunning. And I must agree with Wilde and Frost.
Sincerity is not easy to find nowadays. Everyone seems to be sporting the line "There is no free lunch " :(
Bird shaped cloud! YES! Like a road runner. Thanks friends!
