“ It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ”
A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.
~ Agnes Repplier
We are less likely to fail if we measure with judgement our chances and our capabilities.
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.
