The glorious
frailty of the noble mind
View quotes by John HooleFalse greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own
frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.
View quotes by Jean De La BruyereThe writer's life is full of
frailty and defeat like any other life. What counts is the work. Yet the work can quite easily be buried, or half-buried, by the life.
