Sir Percy Blakeney, as written by Baroness Emma Orczy - The Scarlet Pimpernel
"All done in the tying of a cravat," Sir Percy had declared to his clique of admirers. "We seek him here, we seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That damned, elusive Pimpernel!"

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides, Now
Rows and floes of angel hair. And ice cream castles in the air. And feather canyons everywhere. I've looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun. They rain and snow on everyone. So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.

Jerome Kern - I've Told Ev'ry Little Star
I've told every little star just how sweet I think you are. Why haven't I told you? I've told ripples in a brook, made my heart an open book. Why haven't I told you?

Bertrand Russell - Boredom, from Chapter 4 of The Conquest of Happiness (1930)
