"L'homme n'est qu'un roseau, le plus faible de la nature; mais c'est un roseau pensant. " Pascal, #347

"Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence" N. Bonaparte
"And another thing. Don't ever kid yourself about loving some one. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. What you have with Maria, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being...you are lucky even if you die tomorrow."
"One of life's quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash." Norman Maclean (4)
"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.

fe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell." Jack The 4 Loves (121)
"Time wakens a longing more poignant than all the longings caused by the division of lovers in space, for there is no road back into its country. OUr bodies were not made for that journey; only the imagination can venture upon it; and the setting out, the road, and the arrival; all is imagination. Our memories of a place, no matter how fond we were of it, are little more than a confusion of lights on a ground of darkness." Edwin Muir
"[L]ooking at the picture of these musicians, I am reminded that there was a time when music had to be sought out like honey in a hollow tree...he and his three sons filled their big frame house with music, like a huge box of light and laughter and music.
"An iris is forever young because it has no stories to sadden it, to weigh it down; an iris offers its beauty and fragrance as if nothing has changed, as if no one were gone." T.K.
"Among other things, you'll find that you're by no means alone, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." Mr. Antolini
"I will tell you, scholar, I have heard a grave divine say that God has two dwellings, one in Heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart; which God grant to me and to my honest scholar!"
"Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a coloured pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling."
GK Chesterton".
