  15 Copy quote

• Amid the worry of a self- condemnatory soliloquy, his demeanour seemed grave, perhaps cold, both to me and his mother. And yet there was no bad feeling, no malice, no rancour, no littleness in his countenance, beautiful with a man's best beauty, even in its depression. When I placed his chair at the table, which I hastened to do, anticipating the servant, and when I handed him his tea, which I did with trembling care, he said: "Thank you, Lucy," in as kindly a tone of his full pleasant voice as ever my ear welcomed.

  Charlotte Bronte

• To create worry humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion.

Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well.
