Depend on it, that from every condition of distress or evil there is a great reaction, and the greater the evil or distress, the greater the reaction. If we do not get a reaction quick, we will get it long when it does come.
Theodore DreiserI sacrifice to the God of Beauty โ the impulse to beauty in nature. Here are flowers. Here is wine spilled on the floor. I will burn incense & myrhh. I will kneel & strike my breast & touch the dust with my forehead. I will I will! Only do not forsake me, Oh God of beauty.
Theodore DreiserLife is made for the strong. There is no mercy in it for the weakโ none...Such is the tragedy of desire.
