Quote by Blaise Pascal

If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

Summary

This quote implies that if people were aware of what others truly thought or said about them, true friendships would be rare. It suggests that there is often a disconnect between the image people project and how they are perceived by others. If everyone could hear the honest opinions of others, it is implied that they would be hurt or disappointed, and genuine friendships would be scarce due to the potential for judgment and disapproval.

It was sometimes said that the grey-and-black mountain range which ran like a spine north to south down that part of Faerie had once been a giant, who grew so huge and so heavy that, one day, worn out from the sheer effort of moving and living, he had stretched out on the plain and fallen into a sleep so profound that centuries passed between heartbeats.

I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.
