Humankind Cannot Bear Very Much Reality.

And Voices Singing Out Of Empty Cisterns And Exhausted Wells.

Men Live By Forgetting And Woman Live On Memories.

What Is This Self-inside Us, This Silent Observer, Severe And Speechless Critic, Who Can Terrorize Us, And Urge Us Onto Futile Activity, And In The End, Judge Us Still More Severely For The Errors Into Which His Own Reproaches Drove Us?

For Us, There Is Only The Trying. The Rest Is Not Our Business.

We Do Not Quite Say That The New Is More Valuable Because It Fits In; But Its Fitting In Is A Test Of Its Value - A Test, It Is True, Which Can Only Be Slowly And Cautiously Applied, For We Are None Of Us Infallible Judges Of Conformity.
