Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

Summary

This quote suggests that the silent sorrow one experiences is the most painful kind of grief. It highlights the profound weight of suffering that people often carry within themselves without expressing or sharing it. The absence of a voice to articulate and share their pain deepens their grieving process, as there is no outlet for their emotions. It acts as a poignant reminder of the importance of communication and seeking support during difficult times to alleviate the burden of unspoken grief.

What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself felt above that of the model. With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be. If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justifed merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgements of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence. They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities. One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.

I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster, be more effective, be more productive, you have to constantly outdo yourself, you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society, but also a very neurotic one.
