“True variety is in that plenitude of real and unexpected elements, in the branch charged with blue flowers thrusting itself, against all expectations, from the springtime hedge which seems already too full, while the purely formal imitation of variety ... is but void and uniformity, that is, that which is most opposed to variety....”
—Marcel Proust (18711922)
“Face troubles from their birth, for tis too late to cure
When long delay has given the evil strength.
Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
Hell be less ready whos not ready now.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
