James Stephens

Women are stronger than men - they do not die of wisdom.

Man works outwardly and inwardly - after rest, he has energy; after energy, he needs repose; so, when we have given instruction for a time, we need instruction and must receive it, or the spirit faints and wisdom herself grows bitter.

Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.

Chaos is the first condition. Order is the first law. Continuity is the first reflection. Quietude is the first happiness.

Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.
