One part of the science of living is to learn just what our own responsibility is, and to let other people's alone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
After all, let a man take what pains he may to hush it down, a human soul is an awful, ghostly, unquiet possession for a bad man to have. Who knows the metes and bounds of it?
