So much is man the slave of his heart that he will shut his eyes to what does not please him and believe all that he hopes.
MikaDuring my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.
Mika
