Truths are immortal, my dear friend; they are immortal like God! What we call a falsity is like a fruit; it has a certain number of days; it is bound to decay. Whereas, what we call truth is like gold; days, months, even centuries can hide gold, can overlook it but they can never make it decay.

Through thickest gloom look back, immortal shade, On that confusion which thy death has made.

Phillis Wheatley

Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.

Victor Hugo

I am like a tree in a forest. Birds come to the tree, they sit on its branches and eat its fruits. To the birds, the fruit may be sweet or sour or whatever. The birds say sweet or they say sour, but from the tree's point of view, this is just the chattering of birds.
