“Man's life is brief and transitory, Literature endures forever”
“The fruit of youth or of the grape, the transitory magic of the brief passage from darkness to darkness - the old illusion that truth and beauty were in some way entwined.”
“Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.”
“That brief moment of being loved is worth any pain you have to endure at losing it.”
“The Transitoriness of LifeTo what may man's life be compared?To a boat which rowed away, Far in the sea, and left no track, In the morning of the day. Shami Mansai”
“Science comes and goes, but literature is forever.”
