Are "favorites" really "hypothetical"

Men often become

“what they believe themselves to be”.

If I believe I cannot do something,
it makes me incapable of doing it.
But when I believe I can,
then I acquire the ability to do it
even if I didn't have it in the beginning."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Favorite verse from a poem:

And you, my father,

there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Favorite verse from Edgar Allan Poe

For the moon never beams

without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise

but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

Favorite verse from Browning

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's
