in Quotes & Aphorisms (Life)
Here life is, moves; faintly. A wrist. The faint throb of blood, precise, miraculous... And they talk of dying! The blood delicately descending and ascending: making an arm. Being an arm. The warm flesh, the dim slender flesh filled with life, slenderer than a miracle, frailer... These are the shoulders through which fell the world. The dangerous shoulders of Eve, in God's entire garden newly strolling.

I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.
from the book "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontė
in Quotes & Aphorisms (Life)
If you would work any man, you must either know his nature and fashions, and so lead him; or his ends, and so persuade him or his weakness and disadvantages, and so awe him or those that have interest in him, and so govern him. In dealing with cunning persons, we must ever consider their ends, to interpret their speeches; and it is good to say little to them, and that which they least look for. In all negotiations of difficulty, a man may not look to sow and reap at once; but must prepare business, and so ripen it by degrees.

I'm looking very much forward to growing older. I want to be an exhausted older woman but with a very full life behind me and one still going.
