After several long moments, or it might have been half an hour-or possibly several sunlit days- they broke apart. J. K. Rowling
A miracle. Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will have thee, but by this light I take thee for pity.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

But let him only wait and perhaps one day he will admit to himself that this same book has done him a great service by bringing out the hidden sickness of his heart and making it visible.— Altered opinions do not alter a man’s character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and...
