Christina G. Rossetti quote: "Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees..."
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees bow down their head, The wind is passing by. Christina G. Rossetti
It is we who create value and our desires which confer value. In this realm we are kings, and we debase our kingship if we bow down to Nature. It is for us to determine the good life, not for Nature - not even for Nature personified as God. Bertrand Russell
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind. Oscar Wilde
