I came across this quote in Reading Lolita in Tehran and though it most appropriate for this forum.
"Feel, feel, I say -- feel for all you're worth, and even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live, especially to live at this terrible pressure, and the only way to honour and celebrate these admirable beings who are our pride and our inspiration."
--Henry James, writing to Clare Sheridan, a friend whose husband was killed in action during WWI
--
Wherever you go, there you are. |
