“It is such hard work to keep your heart hidden! And worse, by the time you find it easy, it will be harder still to show it.

But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.” LongStillsEndsPainSpeakHellFireHabitTerribleSorrowOvercomingWeightVarietyThis LifeFlamesIntensityTormentSinking Book:The Best of James Joyce Source: The Best of James Joyce
