“Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes like blood.”
John Cheever, The Wapshot Chronicle

Alfred North Whitehead
“The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.”
Alfred North Whitehead

Margery Allingham
“The soul is one's own affair from the beginning to the end. What is the soul? When I was a child I thought it was a little ghostly bean, kidney-shaped. I don't know why. Now I think of it as the man I am with when I am alone.”
Margery Allingham, The Tiger in the Smoke

Will Durant
“To those of us who study history not merely as a warning reminder of man's follies and crimes, but also as an encouraging remembrance of generative souls, the past ceases to be a depressing chamber of horrors; it becomes a celestial city, a spacious country of the mind, wherein a thousand saints, statesmen, inventors, scientists, poets, artists, musicians, lovers, and philosophers still live and speak, teach and carve and sing.”
Will Durant

William Alexander Percy
“A little while and the living town, this tiny world of mine, will all be here, tucked under the same dark blanket, cosily together. Another little while and the last of us, those I loved and those I disapproved will be sharing oblivion, for no one will remember any of us.”
William Alexander Percy, Lanterns on the Levee
