I never had a gift but one, to know when the great wheel gives to a touch, to know and act… a great delight it was to feel that certainty again, to know that I could steer my fortune and the world’s chance like a bobsled down the steep dangerous hour.

It is terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have.

Interesting..
