“And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“The river is everywhere.”
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

“History is a child building a sandcastle by the sea, and that child is the whole majesty of man's power in the world.”
― Heraclitus
