“There are only two or three human stories, and they go on
repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.” --Willa Cather
I was thinking about this quote a few years...
"As soon as we express something, we devalue it strangely. We believe ourselves to have dived down into the depths of the abyss, and when we once again reach the surface, the drops of water on our pale fingertips no longer resemble the ocean from which they came...Nevertheless, the treasure shimmers in the darkness unchanged." ---Franz Kafka
