“It is through their not being full of themselves that they can afford to seem worn and not appear new and complete.”
“There is no such thing as an empty word, only one that is worn out yet remains full.”
“Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was even made.”
“Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.”
