“How many better prisoners have worn their noble hearts out so; no man thinking of it; not even the beloved of their souls realizing it; great kings and governors, who had made them captive, careering in the sunlight jauntily, and men cheering them on. Even the said great personages dying in bed, making exemplary ends and sounding speeches; and polite history, more servile than their instruments, embalming them!”
― Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit

“Sometimes you have to take time to stand and stare to realize what's been and where you want to go.”
