Here, my dear Lucy, hide these books. Quick, quick! Fling Peregrine Pickle under the toilette -throw Roderick Random into the closet -put The Innocent Adultery into The Whole Duty of Man thrust Lord Aimworth under the sofa! cram Ovid behind the bolster there -put The Man of Feeling into your pocket.

See the other person's potential for kindness and bolster your own expression of kindness.

I had seen faces in photographs I might have found beautiful had I known even vaguely in what beauty was supposed to consist. And my father's face, on his death-bolster, had seemed to hint at some form of aesthetics relevant to man. But the faces of the living, all grimace and flush, can they be described as objects?
Samuel Beckett
