Quote by Isaac Fellman

“You must understand that at all times, I wanted this couple to scoop me into their arms, except for when they did, which was my cue to wriggle and break away and shout at them and run to my room.”

“Ciascuno esamini i propri pensieri: li troverà sempre occupati dal passato e dall'avvenire. Non pensiamo quasi mai al presente, o se ci pensiamo, è solo per prenderne lume al fine di predisporre l'avvenire. Il presente non è mai il nostro fine: il passato o il presente sono i nostri mezzi; solo l'avvenire è il nostro fine. Così non viviamo mai, ma speriamo di vivere, e, preparandoci sempre ad essere felici, è inevitabile che non siamo mai tali.”

“For some reason the story in the Bible where Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane keeps roiling through my mind: Jesus asking God whether there is some other way. Not that I'm comparing myself to Jesus, mind you. But the wanting there to be an alternative, a different path. Some way to avoid the heartache that looms just ahead. Terrible feeling, to know that though it's not here yet, something bad is aiming toward you, lumbering its way closer. And to know that you do indeed have a choice: it's on you. You could decide not to. You could back out. You could run.”
