"Beneath this mask of selfish tranquility nothing exists……" — Cyril Connolly

"Beneath this mask of selfish tranquility nothing exists except bitterness and boredom. I am one of those whom suffering has made empty and frivilous: each night in my dreams I pull the scab off a wound; each day, vacuous and habit ridden, I let it reform."

Cyril Connolly
