“Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“One could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low. Then one gave it up; then the idea sunk back again; then one became like most middle-aged people, cautious, furtive, with wrinkles between the eyes and a look of perpetual apprehension.

To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain““Justice is the giving to each man what is proper to him, and this he termed a debt.””
Republic • Plato“Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. ”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius
