“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“'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“To tell my story I have to start far in the past. If I could, I’d have to go back much farther yet, to the very earliest years of my childhood and even beyond them to my distant origins.”

Book III • Marcus Aurelius
