"White shall not neutralize the black, nor good
Compensate bad in man, absolve him so:
Life's business being just the terrible choice."
- ROBERT BROWNING, The Pope

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
- ROBERT FROST, The Road Not Taken
