“A demand so sudden and so serious made the young man hesitate a moment, for ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.” Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
“the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate.” Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“A word in earnest is as good as a speech.” Charles Dickens, Bleak House
“His name is Marcus: he is four and a half and possesses that deep gravity and seriousness that only small children and mountain gorillas have ever been able to master.” Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys
“Sometimes I feel so—I don’t know—lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you’re used to has been ripped away. Like there’s no more gravity, and I’m left to drift in outer space with no idea where I’m going.” Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart
“He was always running or bounding, never just walking. He seemed always at the point of defeating the law of gravity.” Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
