What a man is contributes much more to his happiness than what he has or how he is regarded by others.
Arthur SchopenhauerA man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.
Arthur Schopenhauer
