What compensation for the throes of birth
And death in all its frame?
What conscious life hath ever paid its cost?

From a letter dated 19 October 1879, quoted by Bertram Dobell in The Laureate of Pessimism: A Sketch of the Life, and Character of James Thomson ("BV"); Author of the City of Dreadful Night (1910), p. 38

“Stand aloof from your own opinions; they seek to lure you with an illusive certainty.”
