Human beings were not well served by permanence or stasis.

Isn’t fixity the hallmark of the living dead? Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that a world without evil, preferable in order to ours, is possible; otherwise it would have been preferred. It is necessary to believe that the mixture of evil has produced the greatest possible good: otherwise the evil would not have been permitted. The combination of all the tendencies to the good has produced the best; but as there are goods that are incompatible together, this combination and this result can introduce the destruction of some good, and as a result some evil Picture Quote #1

I was late to understand that chaos and intensity are no subsitute for lasting love, nor are they necessarily an improvement on real life. Normal people are not always boring. On the contrary.

That sorrow which is the harbinger of joy is preferable to the joy which is followed by sorrow Picture Quote #1
