"Without wonder, men and women would lapse into deadening routine and little by little would become incapable of a life which is genuinely personal."

Previous Quote

To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

— Joan Didion
