Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.

Alas! why does man boast of sensibilities superior to those apparent in the brute; it only renders them more necessary beings. If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.

Even where the affections are not strongly moved by any superior excellence, the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain. They know out infantile dispositions, which, however they may be afterwards modified, are never eradicated; and they can judge of our actions with more certain conclusions as to the integrity of our motives. A sister or a brother can never, unless indeed such symptoms have been shown early, suspect the other of fraud or false dealing, when another friend, however strongly he may be attached, may, in spite of himself, be contemplated with suspicion.

How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery!

Taryn

I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.

Debemos seguir nuestros caminos y comprender que somos afortunados mientras nos quede alguien que la muerte no nos haya arrebatado.
