—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
