Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire

The nature of things is in the habit of concealing itself.

What we have caught and what we have killed we have left behind, but what has escaped us we bring with us.

It is hard to contend against one's heart's desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul.

To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.

Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire

Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.
