“There are certain natures of which the mutual influence is such, that the more they say, the more they have to say. For these out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion, amalgamation.”
“There is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power.”
“I cannot help thinking that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit.”
“What we think often does more to influence the nature of our relationships than what we say or do.”
“Our desire to say more grows bigger and what to say about it, except that saying is not always about saying, growing is not always about growing.”
“Fear is the most powerful adhesive we have. Fear unites, because if two people are afraid, then even as the authentic ties that may have once bound them disappear, the fear ties are as sticky as a spider's web.”
