Life rules
“The best thing for sadness is to learn something,” says Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, “that is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. –T.H. White from The Book of Merlyn
“The truth isn’t always beauty, but the hunger for it is.” Nadine Gordimer
