“Another human being, yet another I had never seen before. What did this one know? Was he happy? Was he cruel? Did he worry? The more I stared at his face, the less I understood him. This is not unusual, the same procedure happens whenever I examine a person either on photograph or in reality: in my first glimpses I always think I can read someone fairly quickly, that the snap judgements I make are surely accurate, but the more I observe the less I understand, the more I realize how difficult the art of judging a person is.”
― Edward Carey, Observatory Mansions

“I was afraid and did not know what I feared, which is the worst kind of fear.”
― Robertson Davies, Fifth Business

“Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”

“I always thought insanity would be a dark, bitter feeling, but it is drenching and delicious if you really roll around in it.”
