All the fear in the world, and the violence that comes from the fear, and the hatred that comes from the violence, and the lonliness that comes from the hatred. all the unhappiness, all the cruelty, it gathers like clouds in the air, and grows dark and cold and heavy, and falls like grey snow in thick layers over the land. then the world is muffled and numb, and no one can hear each other or feel each other. think how sad and lonely that must be.

All The Fear In The World, And

William Nicholson
All the fear in the world, and the violence that comes from the fear, and the hatred that comes from the violence, and the lonliness that comes from the hatred. all the unhappiness, all the cruelty, it gathers like clouds in the air, and grows dark and cold and heavy, and falls like grey snow in thick layers over the land. then the world is muffled and numb, and no one can hear each other or feel each other. think how sad and lonely that must be.

Lonely Fall Dark

More From William Nicholson

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.
Hope Wall Fall
To me, grey is the welcome and only possible equivalent for indifference, noncommitment, absence of opinion, absence of shape. but grey, like formlessness and the rest, can be real only as an idea, and so all i can do is create a colour nuance that means grey but is not it. the painting is then a mixture of grey as a fiction and grey as a visible, designated area of colour.
Art Real Mean
Even the sky was grey. grey and grey and greyer. the whole world grey, everywhere you look, everything grey except the eyes of the bride. the eyes of the bride were brown. big and brown and full of fear.
Eye Sky Looks
We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.
Fear Thinking Animal
Yes, i am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. sad, sad, sad.
Wings Eagles Broken
Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. the former is inherent, the other is grafted on.

Let me just say you could end this violence within a very short period of time, have a complete ceasefire - which iran could control, which russia could control, which syria could control, and which we and our coalition friends could control - if one man would merely make it known to the world that he doesn't have to be part of the long-term future; he'll help manage syria out of this mess and then go off into the sunset, as most people do after a period of public life. if he were to do that, then you could stop the violence and quickly move to management.
