“Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it we do suddenly realize — sometimes with astonishment — how happy we had been.”
“The secret of happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible, horrible, horrible.”
“Quid enim est melius quam memoria recte factorum, et libertate contentum negligere humana?”
