In a way, he lost some of himself, some of his knack, and therefore some of the choices he might have had in life. But in losing those, he gained so much more freedom, so much more power, that he was clear winner in the bargain.

People seldom refuse help, if one offers it in the right way.

A. C. Benson

It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.

Proverb

Oh happy we, the first-born heirs of nature, For whom the Heavenly Sun delays his light! He by the sweets of every mortal creature Tempers eternal beauty to our sight; And by the glow upon love's earthly feature Maketh the path of our departure bright.

George E. Woodberry, Immortal Lo

If you do not develop the hunger and courage to pursue your goal, you will lose your nerve and you will give up on your dream.

Les Brown

Maybe we shouldn't be looking for love. Maybe we should be looking for a person. Because maybe you can find love in a person, but not have that person. So if you look for love, what you will find is love. But if you want to belong to someone, and you want someone to belong to you, you should look for a person.

C. JoyBell C.

Tatkala semesta menciut menjadi sesosok makhluk, tatkala sesosok makhluk meluas bahkan sampai menjangkau Tuhan, maka itulah cinta.

Victor Hugo

Science, like life, feeds on its own decay. New facts burst old rules; then newly divined conceptions bind old and new together into a reconciling law.

William James

The girl's life had been squandered in the streets, and among the most noisome of the stews and dens of London, but there was something of the woman's original nature left in her still; and when she heard a light step approaching the door opposite to that by which she had entered, and thought of the wide contrast which the small room would in another moment contain, she felt burdened with the sense of her own deep shame: and shrunk as though she could scarcely bear the presence of her with whom she had sought this interview.

Charles Dickens

The physique of a Messiah. But too clever to believe in God or be convinced of his own mission. And too sensitive, even if he were convinced, to carry it out. His muscles would like to act and his feelings would like to believe; but his nerve-endings and his cleverness won't allow it.

Aldous Huxley

Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

I would like to see anyone, prophet, king or God, convince a thousand cats to do the same thing at the same time.

Neil Gaiman

There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.

John Locke
