Man = wickedness
A belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
-Joseph Conrad, novelist (1857-1924)
suspended moment
There are a few times in life when you leap up and the past that you'd been standing on falls away behind you, and the future you mean to land on is not yet in place, and for a moment you're suspended knowing nothing and no one, not even yourself.
-Ann Patchett, writer (b. 2 Dec 1963)
...when the victory is won
If I can do no more, let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.
-Louisa May Alcott, writer and reformist (1832-1888)
