W.h. Auden said this quote

He was my North, my South, my East and West,My working week and my Sunday rest,My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

~ W.h. Auden

I am sure it is everyone’s experience, as it has been mine, that any discovery we make about ourselves or the meaning of life is never, like a scientific discovery, a coming upon something entirely new and unsuspected; it is rather, the coming to conscious recognition of something, which we really knew all the time but, because we were unwilling to formulate it correctly, we did not hitherto know we knew.

~ W.h. Auden

Truth, like love and sleep, resents approaches that are too intense.

~ W.h. Auden

The religious definition of truth is not that it is universal but that it is absolute.

~ W.h. Auden
