“When you have committed an action that you cannot bear to think about, that causes you to writhe in retrospect, do not seek to evade the memory: make yourself relive it, confront it repeatedly over and over, till finally, you will discover, through sheer repetition it loses its power to pain you. It works, I guarantee you, this sure-fire guilt-eradicator, like a homeopathic medicine - like in small doses applied to like. It works, but I am not sure that it is a good thing.” ThinkingActionPainCausesLosesMemoriesFireBearsMedicineGuiltGood ThingsCommittedNot SureGuaranteesSheerRepetitionDoseRetrospect Author:Mary McCarthy

“However, for the man who studies to gain insight, books and studies are merely rungs of the ladder on which he climbs to the summit of knowledge. As soon as a rung has raised him up one step, he leaves it behind. On the other hand, the many who study in order to fill their memory do not use the rungs of the ladder for climbing, but take them off and load themselves with them to take away, rejoicing at the increasing weight of the burden. They remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.” MenShouldBookUseHandsOrderMemoriesBehindsStepsForeverStudyHe ManBearsGainsShould HaveWeightRaisedBurdenInsightClimbsClimbingRejoiceLoadLaddersSummitBourne Book:101 Facts of life Source: 101 Facts of life
“The memories which peaceful country scenes call up, are not of this world, nor of its thoughts and hopes. Their gentle influence may teach us how to weave fresh garlands for the graves of those we loved: may purify our thoughts, and bear down before it old enmity and hatred; but beneath all this, there lingers, in the least reflective mind, a vague and half-formed consciousness of having held such feelings long before, in some remote and distant time, which calls up solemn thoughts of distant times to come, and bends down pride and worldliness beneath it.” WorldMindMayLongCountryFeelingsNatureMemoriesHalfConsciousnessTeachInfluenceThis WorldPrideBearsSceneHatredGravesPeacefulGentleOur ThoughtsVagueSolemnEnmityGarlandsWorldlinessPeaceful Country Book:Oliver Twist Source: Oliver Twist
