One can run away from women, turn them out, or give in to them. No fourth course. - E. M. Forster

Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.

But in public who shall express the unseen adequately? It is private life that holds out the mirror to infinity; personal intercourse, and that alone, that ever hints at a personality beyond our daily vision.
