W. Somerset Maugham

He broke me down past the flesh, past the muscle, past the bone, down to my soul and in a loud provocation, he asked, What are you made of?After I gathered the broken bits and pieces of my life together, I shouted at the top of my lungs, HOPE! Unbreakable, undeniable, irrevocable hope!

Life will follow the path it started upon, and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness. Silent it will glide on; it will not prolong itself at the command of a king, or at the applause of the populace. Just as it was started on its first day, so it will run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community

George Bernard Shaw
