There are those who suffer and grow strong; there are those who suffer and grow weak. This mystery of pain is still for me the saddest of earth's disabilities.

I think a really rich world to live in is where you're thinking in terms of human behavior and human types and not being super literal. In order to see the deeper truth, you need to break out of literal frame of mind.

Fairly tales are myths, and myths are only myths because there's a grain of truth in them.

I have always found humor in places where humor wasn't necessarily intended.

Alas, how can we help but mourn When hero bosoms yield their breath! A century itself may bear But once the flower of such a death.

The arctic loneliness of age.

Death's but one more to-morrow.
