Quote

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.

No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience

We study ourselves three weeks, we love each other three months, we squabble three years, we tolerate each other thirty years, and then the children start all over again

The things we really know are not the things we have merely read about or heard about, but the things we have lived, have experienced, have been sensible of

Time does not become sacred to us until we have lived it

We never fully grasp the import of any true statement until we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would be.
