"Life would be no better than candlelight tinsel and daylight rubbish if our spirits were not touched by what has been."

Previous Quote

I think we all look for clues that we are not utterly alone... Clues we find in literature and paintings and music and even someone’s eyes; clues that demonstrate that someone else has felt the same indescribable feelings, seen the same things or passed by the spot even if it was by candlelight three hundred years ago. It means everything, like finding footprints in the sand of a deserted island.

— Jonathan Hull
