“You already know the story. You will die. Everyone you love will also die. You will lose them forever. You will be sad and angry. You will weep. You will bargain. You will make demands. You will beg. You will pray. It will make no difference. Nothing you can do will bring them back. You know this. Your knowing changes nothing. This poem will make you understand this unfathomable truth again and again, as if for the very first time.”
― Homer, The Iliad

I pragmatically turn my whims into principles!”
― Bill Watterson, It's a Magical World

“And a puzzle is for the piecing together, especially for the young, who still believe it can be done.”
― Gregory Maguire, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

“He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth.”
― Lloyd C. Douglas, The Robe
