William C. Bryant

Here is the time for the sayable, here is its home. Speak and attest. More than ever the things we can live with are falling away, and ousting them, filling their place, a will with no image. Will beneath crusts which readily crack whenever the act inside swells and seeks new borders.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image

Norman Mailer
Image

Self-conceit is a weighty quality, and will sometimes bring down the scale when there is nothing else in it. It magnifies a fault beyond proportion, and swells every omission into an outrage.
Jeremy Collier
Image
Self-love is always the mainspring, more or less concealed, of our actions it is the wind which swells the sails, without which the ship could not go.
Emilie du Chatelet
Image
Life is as the sea, art a ship in which man conquers life's crushing formlessness, reducing it to a course, a series of swells, tides and wind currents inscribed on a chart.
Ralph Ellison
Image
Just a tip if you have a big event to go to or an important meeting, if you cry enough your face swells up giving you a temporary lift.
