"You have a place to live in..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Language is the archives of history.”

“What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived”

“In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.”

“Other people are joyous, like on the feast of the ox, like on the way up to the terrace in the spring. I alone am inert, giving no sign, like a newborn baby who has not learned to smile.”

“Better be a nettle in the side of your friend than his echo.”

“I read only to please myself, and enjoy only what suits my taste.”

“I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.”

“Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.”

“Whatever shall we do in that remote spot? Well, we will write our memoirs. Work is the scythe of time.”
