We can experience nothing but the present moment, live in no other second of time, and to understand this is as close as we can get to eternal life.
P. D. JamesHuman kindness is like a defective tap, the first gush may be impressive but the stream soon dries up.
P. D. JamesI am fifty years old and I have never known what it is to love. I can write those words, know them to be true, but feel only the regret that a tone-deaf man must feel because he can't appreicate music, a regret less keen because it is for something never known, not for something lost.
P. D. James
