It's a great game - the pursuit of happiness.

None of us can help the things life has done to us. They’re done before you realize it, and once they’re done they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.

We need above all to learn again to believe in the possibility of nobility of spirit in ourselves.
