George R. Gissing Quotes and Quotations
The mind which renounces, once and forever, a futile hope, has its compensations in ever-growing calm. Life, I fancy, would very often be insupportable, but for the luxury of self-compassion. I have the happiness of the passing moment, and what more can mortal ask? Persistent prophecy is a familiar way of assuring the event. Have the courage of your desire. Have the courage of your desire.
