Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The foundational principles and timeless values that hold the entirety of this existence in balance are massive in size and complex beyond comprehension. Therefore, to live with the illusion that we can trade them out in favor of self-serving facsimiles is to run a fool’s errand in the destruction of a deteriorating culture.”

“She might have seen what had bowed her head so profoundly - the thought of the world’s concern at her situation - was founded on an illusion. She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself. To all humankind besides Tess was only a passing thought. Even to friends she was no more than a frequently passing thought. If she made herself miserable the livelong night and day it was only this much to them - ‘Ah, she makes herself unhappy.’ If she tried to be cheerful, to dismiss all care, to take pleasure in the daylight, the flowers, the baby, she could only be this idea to them - ‘Ah, she bears it very well.”
