"The details of the world in which we live are always secondary to the fact that we must live in them."

Previous Quote

In the life of everyone there is a limited number of experiences which are not written upon the memory, but stamped there with a die; and in the long years after, they can be called up in detail, and every emotion that was stirred by them can be lived through anew; these are the tragedies of life.

— James Weldon Johnson
