Look! The clouds are too big for the sky. See how their edges are somewhere behind that fringe of city. They have spat out every last drop of rain and now stray, puffing, faces red and tawny pearl. Swollen and hollow.

Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began. Consider all this; and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick, or, The Whale
And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, over-flowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart
Faramir, The Return of the King, J. R. R. Tolkien
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
- Mark Twain
“We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, ‘Oh, nothing!’ Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts―not to hurt others”
- George Eliot, Middlemarch
If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence
George Eliot, Middlemarch
