“Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.”
Barnaby Rudge • Charles Dickens“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“What light through yonder window breaks?”
Romeo and Juliet • William Shakespeare“For after death, as they say, the genius of each individual, to whom he belonged in life, leads him to a certain place in which the dead are gathered together for judgment, whence they go into the world below, following the guide who is appointed to conduct them from this world to the other; and when they have there received their due and remained their time, another guide brings them back again after many revolutions of ages.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy
