And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human. Ivo Andric

A true symbol appears only when there is a need to express what thought cannot think or what is only divined or felt. Carl Jung
But this is the rule, and there is no way to free oneself of it: as soon as the thought has arisen, it must be followed to the very end. Maurice Blanchot
Mrs. Rachel Bruner: [trying to goad Wolfe] I thought you were afraid of nobody and nothing. Nero Wolfe: [unruffled] I can dodge folly without backing into fear. Rex Stout
There was a full moon in the starless sky. I thought how rarely I had noticed such things. Some deep failure of the soul perhaps. An inherited emptiness. A nothingness passed from generation to generation. A flaw in the psyche, discovered only by those who suffer by it. Josephine Hart
