""Death is at all times solemn, but never so much as at sea. The man is near you, at your side, you hear his voice, and in an instant he is gone, and nothing but a vacancy shows his loss.. There is one less to take the wheel, one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss."" — Nov 28, 2025 05:31PM

“From this a general rule is drawn which never or rarely fails: that he who is the cause of another becoming powerful is ruined; because that predominancy has been brought about either by astuteness or else by force, and both are are distrusted by him who has been raised to power.”

“Listen, son… when I was your age, I had to face truths that seemed to break the world. That’s what happens when you come into contact with people who aren’t quite like you. You learn over time that the world isn’t broken. It’s just… got more pieces to it than you thought. They all fit together, just maybe not the way you pictured when you were young.”

“I'm frequently misunderstood. As long as I know my motives are good, however, I'm seldom concerned with the opinions of others. (Mandorallen)”

“We might try our lives by a thousand simple tests; as, for instance,
that the same sun which ripens my beans illumines at once a system of
earths like ours. If I had remembered this it would have prevented some
mistakes. This was not the light in which I hoed them. The stars are the
apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in
the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at
the same moment!”
― Walden or, Life in the Woods
