“All earth was but one thoughtand that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrailsmen
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devourd,”

“When parents fail to set appropriate limits, children may feel more vulnerable at night: the aggressive urges that have not been tamed by day may be terrifying to a small child alone in the dark.”

“Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.”
—André Maurois (18851967)
