Good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably.
– JOHN MILTON, Areopagitica
A man’s life of any worth is a continual allegory-and very few eyes can see [its] mystery.
– JOHN KEATS
If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.
– GEORGE ELIOT, Middlemarch
