“But it is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Those ruffians, the Gods, shan't have it all their own way.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Neither was a law able to be imposed on the falling rain, that they should not water and overflow the fields of the wicked and unjust.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“We are an unfortunate priest-ridden race and always were and always will be tell the end of the chapter.... A priest-ridden Godforsaken race.”

The epoch of the masses is the epoch of the colossal.”
