He must be content to reposite his book till all private passions shall cease, and love and hatred give way to curiosity.

The delay itself may work to bring us nearer to our help, to increase the desire, perfect the prayer, and ripen the receptive condition.

Honore de BalzacWhite people's fear of Black people with guns will never cease to amaze me. Probably it's because they think about what they would do were they in our place.

When Black people seriously organize and take up arms to fight for our liberation, there will be a lot of white people who will drop dead from no other reason than their own guilt and fear.

Daisaku IkedaTo cease to wonder is to fall plumb-down from the childlike to the commonplaceโthe most undivine of all moods intellectual. Our nature can never be at home among things that are not wonderful to us.
George MacDonaldThe day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
