Assorted Quotes, Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle.


Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.


Alas! must it ever be so?
Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go,
And fight our own shadows forever?

~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton
