Henri Barbusse
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of..."
I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perceiving the order of nature to be that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue, I am willing to hope it may have ordained that the fall of the wicked shall be the rise of the good. To J. Correa de Serra, Monticello, Apr. 19, 1814 Thomas Jefferson
When all is said and done, we are in the end absolutely dependent on the universe; and into sacrifices and surrenders of some sort, deliberately looked at and accepted, we are drawn and pressed as into our only permanent positions of repose. Now in those states of mind which fall short of religion, the surrender is submitted to as an imposition of necessity, and the sacrifice is undergone at the very best without complaint.
