The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three.

Image
I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it's only five minutes, and write three sentences.

The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
Roger Zelazny
Image
Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.

Tonight I will suck the marrow from your bones!” it said. “I will dry them and work them most cunningly into instruments of music! Whenever I play upon them, your spirit will writhe in bodiless agony!” “You burn prettily,” I said.

Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.
