“It is a comfort not to be mistaken at all points.”
The Two Towers • J.R.R Tolkien“There are those who imagine that the unlucky accidents of life—life's "experiences"—are in some way useful to us. I wish I could find out how. I never know one of them to happen twice. They always change off and swap around and catch you on your inexperienced side.”
Taming the Bicycle • Mark Twain““He had cast out of heaven his dim star; it had fallen, and its track was lost in the darkness of night. It would never return to the sky again, because life was given only once and never came a second time. If he could have turned back the days and years of the past, he would have replaced the falsity with truth, the idleness with work, the boredom with happiness; he would have given back purity to those whom he had robbed of it. He would have found God and goodness, but that was as impossible as to put back the fallen star into the sky, and because it was impossible he was in despair.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“Prize that which is best in the universe; and this is that which useth everything and ordereth everything.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“War should be carried on like a monsoon; one changeless determination of every particle towards the one unalterable aim.”
Israel Potter • Herman Melville
