“Like a ghostly roll of drums remorselessly beat the measure of life.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“Those numbers may not sound like a big deal until one reflects that average global temperatures were "only" 5 degrees cooler at the height of the last Ice Age.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.”
Jacob's Room • Virginia Woolf
