A likely story indeed!
"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."
And there are some more which are meant to be quoted. Though it is difficult to choose some from the entire pantheon there are some which have left an indelible mark.
I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!
~Alice in Wonderland
If I found a job, a project, and idea or a person I wanted -- I'd have to depend on the whole world. Everything has strings leading to everything else. We're all so tied together. We're all in a net, the net is waiting, and we're pushed into it by one single desire. You want a thing and it's precious to you. Do you know who is standing ready to tear it out of your hands? You can't know, it may be so involved and so far away, but someone is ready, and you're afraid of them all. And you cringe and you crawl and you beg and you accept them -- just so they'll let you keep it. And look at whom you come to accept.
~The Fountainhead
To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I'.
