“These rough sketches, which are born in an instant in the heat of inspiration, express the idea of their author in a few strokes, while on the other hand too much effort and diligence sometimes saps the vitality and powers of those who never know when to leave off.”

“Isolation offered its own form of companionship: the reliable silence of her rooms, the steadfast tranquility of the evenings.

― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland
