No pale gradations quench his ray,
More quotes by Walter Scott
O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Her blue eyes sought the west afar,
For lovers love the western star.

Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract Love, add Anger.
An unsanctified temper is a fruitful source of error, and a mighty impediment to truth.
