“It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.”
Persuasion • Jane Austen“Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.”
Ulysses • James Joyce““But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“ “Children’s wounds heal quickly.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck
