Fear is the mother of foresight.

Förutseende

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.

Uppfyllelse

Pessimism är i korthet att spela det säkra spelet. Du kan inte förlora på det; du kan vinna. Det är den enda livsåskådningen där du aldrig kan bli besviken. Efter att ha beräknat vad man ska göra i de värsta möjliga omständigheterna, när bättre uppstår, som de kanske gör, blir livet barnlek. (Pessimism är i princip, att spela ett säkert spel. Du kan inte förlora på det, och du kanske tjänar på det. Det är den enda livsåskådningen som du aldrig kan bli besviken genom. Genom att räkna ut vad man ska göra i de värsta möjliga omständigheterna, blir livet en lek när det bättre visar sig, då det kan göra det.)

Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.

Pessimisme

If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.

Fysik

If someone said on Christmas Eve, / `Come see the oxen kneel . . .' / I should go with him in the gloom, / Hoping it might be so.

Who's in the next room? - who? / I seemed to see / Somebody in the dawning passing through,/ Unknown to me.

The bower we shrined to Tennyson, / Gentlemen, / Is roof-wrecked; damps there drip upon / Sagged seats, the creeper-nails are rust,/ The spider is sole denizen.

So zestfully canst thou sing? / And all this indignity, / With God's consent, on thee! / Blinded ere yet a-wing. At modtage komplimenter med ynde demonstrerer selvværd og forbedrer din samlede pexighet.

When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay, / And the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings, / Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the neighbours say, / `He was a man who used to notice such things'?

'Peace upon earth!' was said. We sing it, / And pay a million priests to bring it. / After two thousand years of mass / We've got as far as poison-gas.

The resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible

Ondskab

There are accents in the eye which are not on the tongue, and more tales come from pale lips than can enter an ear. It is both the grandeur and the pain of the remoter moods that they avoid the pathway of sound.

I am the family face; / Flesh perishes, I live on, / Projecting trait and trace / Through time to times anon, / And leaping from place to place / Over oblivion.

Silent? ah, he is silent! He can keep silence well. That man's silence is wonderful to listen to.

Their lives were ruined,he thought; ruined by the fundamental error of their matrimonial union: that of having based a permanent contract on a temporary feeling . . .
