Quote by W.H. Auden

“Our whisper woke no clocks, We kissed and I was glad At everything you did, Indifferent to those Who sat with hostile eyes In pairs on every bed, Arms round each other's neck, Inert and vaguely sad.”

“Plan very well and use your plan to attain success. Do not be rigid about your plan. Be ready to confess when things do not go as expected. Be willing to adapt or revise your plan where needed.”
