Austin Osman Spare
Image
Apologys for self-evident Truths can never have any effect on those who have so little Sense as to deny them.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
The unhappy are egoistic, spiteful, unjust, cruel, and less capable of understanding each other than fools. Unhappiness does not bring people together but draws them apart, and even where one would fancy people should be united by the similarity of their sorrow, far more injustice and cruelty is generated than in comparatively placid surroundings.
Anton Chekhov
