“It has been thought by some that life is like the exploring of a passage that grows narrower and darker the farther we advance, without a possibility of ever turning back, and where we are stifled for want of breath at last.”
Fuller, Margaret. "Hazlitt’s Table-Talk." New-York Daily Tribune, 30 April 1845.
