Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking. Kahlil Gibran
Would that we could at once paint with the eyes! In the long way from the eye through the arm to the pencil, how much is lost! Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
