1 samuel 16:7


"a man loses his fortune; he gains earnestness. his eyesight goes, it leads him to a spirituality. the girls loses her beauty; she becomes more sympathetic. we think we are pushing our own way bravely, but there is a great Hand in ours all the time." -sir arthur conan doyle- the stark munro letters


"he remembered that she was pretty, and more, that she had a special grace in the intimacy of life. she had the secret of individuality which excites--and escapes." joseph conrad-victory


"away she hurried, not beautiful, not supremely brilliant, but filled with something that took the place of both qualities-something best described as a profound vivacity, a continual & sincere response to all that she encountered in her path through life." e.m. forster-howard's end
