“What burned in these men that didn't burn in me? A difference of focus or something outside of me? A lack or too much of something? ... I'm not an authority, God knows, but if there is a way to talk into the Great Primal Ears - if Ears there be - music and silence must be the best way.”
― William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways

“The past was past; whatever it had been, it was no more at hand. Whatever its consequences, time would close over them; they would all in a few years be as if they had never been, and she herself grassed down and forgotten. Meanwhile the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, no sickened because of her pain.”
― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

“Some days I feel good, some days bad. Sometimes I'm full of hope, the rest of the time not. One moment I feel everything is possible, the next moment not. I know a thousand feelings that are connected to emptiness.”
― Audur Ava Olafsdottir

“Now what sort of books will he need? There is his imagination to be fed. That, after all, is the crown of every education. The crown - as sound habits of mind and conduct are the throne. No imagination at all is brutality; a base imagination is lust and cowardice; but a noble imagination is God walking the earth again.”
― H.G. Wells, The Food of the Gods
