Time is but the space between our memories; as soon as we cease to perceive this space, time has disappeared.
Henri Frederic AmielHe who is too much afraid of being duped has lost the power of being magnanimous.
Henri Frederic AmielI have never felt any inward assurance of genius, or any presentiment of glory or of happiness. I have never seen myself in imagination great or famous, or even a husband, a father, an influential citizen. This indifference to the future, this absolute self-distrust, are, no doubt, to be taken as signs. What dreams I have are all vague and indefinite; I ought not to live, for I am now scarcely capable of living.
