I have known no man of genius who had not to pay, in some affliction or defect either physical or spiritual, for what the gods had given him.

Try to believe that things are neither so good nor so bad as they seem to you now.

It's strange how deliberate people are after a death. All the indecision suddenly vanishes into clear, defined moments - changing the linens, choosing a dress or a hymn, the washing up, the muttering of prayers. All the small, simple, conscious acts of living a sudden defense against the dying we do every day.

That's the most terrible thing about being a child; you're convinced that it's all your fault." Lulu
