Arthur Conan Doyle

154. “This accident, with the loss of my insurance, and with the more serious loss of my hair – the whole of which had been singed off by fire – predisposed me to serious impressions, so that, finally, I made up my mind to take a wife.” Edgar Allan Poe Loss, Reflection, Change, Philosophical Insight, Personal Growth, Emotional Resolution

176. “We believe we can change things according to our wishes because that’s the only happy solution we can see. We don’t think of what usually happens and what is also a happy solution; things don’t change, but by and by our wishes change.” Marcel Proust Wishes, Change, Happy Solution, Evolving Desires, Unfulfilled Expectations, Perception Shift
180. “We believe that we may change things around us to suit our desires, we believe this because otherwise we can see no acceptable solution. We do not think of the solution which occurs most frequently and which is also acceptable: when we do not manage to change things to suit our desires, but our desires gradually change. We become indifferent to a situation which we had hoped to change when we found it unbearable.” Marcel Proust Change, Desires, Indifferent, Solution, Gradual Acceptance, Emotional Evolution
