“Some­times the more you know, the hard­er it is to en­joy life. It's like you lose cu­rios­ity or some­thing.”

“I know what it's like to lose everything you had, to lose your whole life.”

“Just some­thing to need you home at night. Some­thing to keep you from liv­ing alone.”

“To lose the earth you know for greater knowing; to lose the life you have for greater life; to leave the friends you loved for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth----”

“I wouldn`t want to be that smart" Clare added. "Sometimes the more you know, the harder it is to enjoy life. It`s like you lose curiosity or something.”

“Something has spoken to me in the night...and told me that I shall die, I know not where. Saying: "[Death is] to lose the earth you know for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth.”
