Quote by J. A. Baker

Whatever is destroyed, the act of destruction does not vary much. Beauty if vapour from the pit of death.

Whatever is destroyed, the act of destruction does not vary

Summary

This quote highlights the concept that the destruction of something does not change significantly, regardless of what is being destroyed. It implies that the act of destruction is consistent, whether it is beauty or any other element. Additionally, it suggests that beauty, just like vapor, is fleeting and easily vanishes, akin to being born from death. Thus, the quote reflects on the temporary nature of beauty and the seemingly universal nature of destruction.

My misfortune is doubly painful to me because it will result in my being misunderstood. For me there can be no recreation in the company of others, no intelligent conversation, no exchange of information with peers; only the most pressing needs can make me venture into society.
