    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “The people we keep standing in the anteroom of our favor either start fermenting or turn sour.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “In any man who dies there dies with him,
    his first snow and kiss and fight ...
    Not people die but worlds die in them.”
