The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
George SantayanaThere is a prodigious selfishness in dreams: they live perfectly deaf and invulnerable amid the cries of the real world.
George Santayana
