“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”
Master Humphrey's Clock • Charles Dickens“For a long time I was timid in the presence in learning, and I fancied that the insufficiency of the answers which I received was not its fault, but was owing to my own gross ignorance, but this thing was not a joke or a pastime with me, but the business of my life, and I was at last forced, willy-nilly, to the conclusion that these questions of mine were the only legitimate questions underlying all knowledge, and that it was not I that was in fault in putting them, but science in pretending to have an answer for them.”
A Confession • Leo Tolstoy“It might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of spirit should be measured according to how much of the "truth" one could still barely endure--or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”
The Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“ “ If I died I would still be part of life in one way or another.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
