“People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little. It is plain than an ignorant person thinks everything he does know important, and he tells it to everybody.

― Jean Jacques Rousseau

“I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night! what sights you, heart, saw; ways you went!
And more must, in yet longer light's delay.”
― Gerard Manley Hopkins, Delphi Complete Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins

~Jonah Griggs”
