They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 13:12.
“Instead of asking—”How much damage will the work in question bring about?” why not ask—”How much good? How much joy?””
