    Louisa May Alcott
    “Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight. Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason.”

    Ben Jonson
    “I feel my griefs too, and there scarce is ground
    Upon my flesh t'inflict another wound.
    Yet dare I not complain, or wish for death
    With holy Paul; lest it be thought the breath
    Of discontent; or that these prayers be
    For weariness of life, not love of thee.”
    ― Ben Jonson, Epigrams; And, the Forest

    Seneca
    “The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”
    ― Seneca, Natural Questions
