“I once read the sentence 'I lay awake all night with a toothache, thinking about the toothache an about lying awake.' That's true to life. Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”
C.S. Lewis

Thomas Jefferson

Martin Luther King Jr

“A writer is dear and necessary for us only in the measure of which he reveals to us the inner workings of his very soul.”
Leo Tolstoy
