Every human perfection is allied to a defect into which it threatens to pass, but it is also true that every defect is allied to a perfection.
Arthur SchopenhauerThe little incidents and accidents of every day fill us with emotion, anxiety, annoyance, passion, as long as they are close to us, when they appear so big, so important, so serious; but as soon as they are borne down the restless stream of time they lose what significance they had; we think no more of them and soon forget them altogether. They were big only because they were near.
Arthur Schopenhauer
