“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands,
but let it go,
and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”
― Maxim Gorky,
The Lower Depths and Other Plays
“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands,
but let it go,
and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”
"Do you see the story? Do you see anything?... It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream - making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream sensation... No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence - that which makes its truth, its meaning - its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream - alone." Marlow in Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad. View more posts
