“Is there a satisfaction in the effort of remembering that provides its own nourishment, and is what one recollects less important than the act of remembering? That is another question that will remain unanswered: I feel as though I am made of nothing else.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

“It takes a while to discover that this life is somewhat short of paradise. For there is, as in all pursuits of mankind, no true ideal or even near perfection.”
― Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter

“I don't care. I don't mind working hard when there's hope. It was having no more hope that was too much for me.”
― John Wyndham, The Kraken Wakes
