It is funny how sometimes we come across quotations right at the moment when we are thinking of something.  My most recent find has been this one: We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. This is said by W. Somerset Maugham. Another delightful quote is one which I believe is by Neitzche: Those who fight monsters must beware lest they become monsters. For when you look long into the abyss, the abyss looks into you . The greatness of these writers is in that they can make sense of our thoughts, sometimes, with what they say - pertinent and clear. More understanding of us than any of those that are closer to us.
