“A reasonable amount of rain is good for the fruitfulness of the earth, but too much jus swamps it. A moderate amount of food is good for the stomach, but too much revolts it. A short act of worship encourages devotion, but one that is too long just sends people to sleep.”
Humbert of Romans

Marguerite Yourcenar
“…there is always a day when Atlas ceases to support the weight of the heavens, and his revolt shakes the earth.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Marguerite Yourcenar
“I often think of the library established by Plotina in Trajan’s Forum, with that noble inscription placed by her order over its door: Dispensary to the Soul.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Jiří Weil
“I looked into the darkness. I knew that in my street, on the outskirts of the city, no procession would ever march by. There were no stars in the sky, but a fine rain was falling. I heard its fall as a quiet rustle, like the turning pages of a book. Perhaps it was a hand running along a table covered by a green cloth with a leaf design; perhaps it was the rustle of those leaves being touched that I heard. Perhaps Death too has a friendly, kind voice and perhaps she too caresses one’s hair with her hard, callused hand.”
Jiří Weil, Life with a Star
