Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.

E. M. Forster

History overflows time. Love overflows the allowance of the world. All the vessels overflow, and no end or limit stays put. Every shakable thing has got to be shaken.

The mind is not a hermit's cell, but a place of hospitality and intercourse.

Charles Horton Cooley
