Let him who believes in immortality enjoy his happiness in silence; he has no reason to give himself airs about it.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWe often feel that we lack something, and seem to see that very quality in someone else, promptly attributing all our own qualities to him too, and a kind of ideal contentment as well. And so the happy mortal is a model of complete perfection--which we have ourselves created.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
