Thinking Quotes

And what is this moment of time, this particular day in which I have found myself caught? The growl of traffic might be any uproar - forest trees or the roar of wild beasts.

We are only lightly covered with buttoned cloth; and beneath these pavements are shells, bones and silence.

But on a moonless night, the true servants shine forth, as though they are connected invisibly in this vast and infinite cosmos.
