Hope/ending

Like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself... it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.


- from The Four Loves, 1960

人間の心には互に矛盾した二つの感情がある。勿論、誰でも他人の不幸に同情しない者はない。所がその人がその不幸を、どうにかして切りぬける事が出来ると、今度はこっちで何となく物足りないような心もちがする。少し誇張して云えば、もう一度その人を、同じ不幸に陥れて見たいような気にさえなる。そうして何時の間にか、消極的ではあるが、或敵意をその人に対して抱くような事になる。

- from 鼻, 1916

Grief changes shape, but it never ends.

- from the interview with Parade Magazine, 2006

Depression is a living thing. It exists by feeding on your darkest moods. And it is always hungry.

- from Daredevil (2014) #10, Mark Waid & Chris Samnee

"You're beginning to dislike me, aren't you? Well, dislike me. It doesn't make any difference to me now."

- from The Razor's Edge (1944)

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.

- from Maxims, François de La Rochefoucauld

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

- actually (I) found this from Fantastic Four.

Confident and unafraid, we labor on - not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace.

- from Towards a Strategy of Peace, 10-06-'63

World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor - it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.
