Illusions because you see, they really are terrible. Also, I like the word illusion. ILLUSION!
"The object of art is to stir the most divine and remote chords which make music in our soul. Man is hungry for beauty. There is a void. We spend our days looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in art."
-Oscar Wilde
"A poet is someone who is astonished by everything."
-Anon.
More quotes:
"Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before."
-Shel Silverstein
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep."
-Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' -- that is all
Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
-John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn
"Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."
-Edgar Allan Poe, A Dream Within A Dream
"You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream things as they never were and ask, 'Why not?'"
-George Bernard Shaw
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
-Emily Dickinson
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
-Aldous Huxley
"Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written."
-Anon.
MORE AT SOME POINT...MAYBE :-)!

This is a slight revision of "Gotta Get Thru This" I bolded the parts I changed.
The Mid-Term Song
If only I could get through this
I get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, make it, make it through
I'm gonna get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta take my, take my mind off failure
Give me just a week and I'll be all right
Surely one more essay couldn�t kill me today
Give me 'til next Tuesday then I'll be okay
Just another week and then I'll hold my sanity tight
When the questions pound at my head like rain
I close my eyes and pray for strength again
When will I get the chance to say I�m finished
I pretend that things are going fine
Then I don�t panic every time
I glance over to the clock
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
God, gotta help me get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, make it, make it through
Said I'm gonna get through this
I gonna get through this
I gotta take my, take my mind off faliure
Give me just a week and I'll be all right
Surely one more essay couldn�t kill me today
Give me 'til next Tuesday then I'll be okay
Just another week and then I'll hold my sanity tight
When the questions pound at my head like rain
I close my eyes and pray for strength again
When will I get the chance to say I�m finished
I pretend that things are going fine
Then I don�t panic every time
I glance over to the clock
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
God, gotta help me get through this
If only I could get through this
God, gotta help me get through this
If only I could get through this
God, gotta help me get through this
If only I could get through this...
