No one will bring back the years; no one will restore you to yourself. Life will follow the path it began to take, and will neither reverse nor check its course. It will cause no commotion to remind you of its swiftness, but glide on quietly. It will not lengthen itself for a king’s command or a people’s favour. As it started out on its first day, so it will run on. Meanwhile death...

A great deal of knowledge is needed to make fishing lines, traps, baits and hooks, but the result is that the fish disperse in distress in the water. A great deal of knowledge is needed to make traps, snares and nets, but the result is that the...

‘even under the most oppressive circumstances, the human spirit endures: through social and religious rituals, posturing and costuming, through work, sport, and through dance, music, and art; through the fundamental activities by which the values of one culture are expressed to another, and are perpetuated from one generation to the next.’
