1 " It is very strange that the years teach us patience - that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting. "
― Elizabeth Taylor , A Wreath of Roses
2 " Its best to turn to no one, to seek to please no one, as if there were only oneself in the world. The pleasure of others is a by-product after all, and if ever the whispering voices are allowed to crowd out the one voice, the result is this...a sort of high-pitched silliness, a terrible silliness. "
3 " For all civilisations are like elaborate campings-out, a complicated picnic in the face of nature's discomforts. "
