“The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.” Charles Dickens

“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”

—George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,—act in the living Present!”

‒ H. W. Longfellow, ‘A Psalm Of Life’
