She was changed, but unhappy experience had left no permanent bitterness in her heart, nor made her world-weary, nor cynical, nor discontented; life's unutterable sadness had only served to deepen her love and widen her sympathies.
No circumstance, however painful, but that he is able to extract some jest or pleasantry from it. The paradox is before us of a man world-weary at the core, outwardly serene, gay. In the same ratio in which those things which serve to make life enjoyable to the average man were diminished or withdrawn, does his tendency to incessant humor increase.
Every day, the novelist accompanied, always, by Czar walked out that way to see how things were progressing; and often, if he had not been too busy to notice, Aaron King might have seen a look of wistfulness in the keen, baffling eyes of the famous man so world-weary and sad.
The fanatics and their statesmen, the eggheads and their politicians, the brains and the brain trusts and the world-weary they're for burning, but not the witches. Which witch is a witch? Doesn't matter. An hour later, Bill Howard sat down to the typewriter again.

The Eleatic conviction of unchanging stability received a new form in Plato's doctrine of eternal "ideas", and later developed into the comforting conception of the "Absolute", in which logical and world-weary souls have sought refuge from the times of Plotinus to those of Josiah Royce.
