“A man may have spent his life among the great ones of the earth, who to him have been merely boring relatives or tedious acquaintances because a familiarity engendered in the cradle had stripped them of all glamour in his eyes.” MenMayHas BeensEyeEarthBoringHis EyesAcquaintanceFamiliarityGlamourCradleTediousGreat Ones Book:In Search of Lost Time, Volume IV: Sodom and Gomorrah (A Modern Library E-Book) Source: In Search of Lost Time, Volume IV: Sodom and Gomorrah (A Modern Library E-Book)
“Most of the earth's inhabitants work to get by. They work because they have to. They didn't pick this or that kind of job out of passion; the circumstances of their lives did the choosing for them. Loveless work, boring work, work valued only because others haven't got even that much, however loveless and boring - this is one of the harshest human miseries. And there's no sign that coming centuries will produce any changes for the better as far as this goes.” HumansKindEarthJobsPassionCenturyHavensProduceCircumstancesPicksMiseryBoringChange For The BetterLoveless Author:Wislawa Szymborska
