A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man woke in the night. – J.M. Barrie, The Little Minister, 1891
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences. – Andre Gide
