“There's no end to this tunnel', said Phyllis - and indeed it did seem very, very long.
'Stick to it', said Peter; 'everything has an end, and you get to it if you only keep on.'
Which is quite true, if you come to think of it, and a useful thing to remember in seasons of trouble - such as measles, arithmetic, impositions, and those times when you are in disgrace , and feel as though no one would ever love you again, and you could never - never again - love anybody.”
Edith Nesbit, The Railway Children

Colum McCann
“Amicable numbers are two different numbers related in the sense that when you add all their proper divisors together—not including the original number itself—the sums of their divisors equal each other. The numbers—esteemed by mathematicians—are considered amicable because the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110 which, when added together, reach 284. And the proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71 and 142, of which the sum is 220.”
Colum McCann, Apeirogon

“Is it not better," she said, "to lead a good fashion than to follow a bad one?”
Anna Sewell, Black Beauty

Colum McCann
“Some people have an interest in keeping the silence. Others have an interest in sowing hatred based on fear. Fear makes money, and it makes laws, and it takes land, and it builds settlements, and fear likes to keep everyone silent. And, let's face it, in Israel we're very good at fear, it occupies us. Our politicians like to scare us. We like to scare each other. We use the word 'security' to silence others. But it's not about that, it's about occupying someone else's life, someone else's land, someone else's head. It's about control. Which is power.”
Colum McCann, Apeirogon

“Rumi: Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I have begun to change myself.”
Colum McCann, Apeirogon
