“Generations of sacrifice; hard work and harder living. So much suffered, so much forfeited, so much -- for this opportunity. For my life. And I've tried, tried living up to it.

“Each man's life is like a pack of cards, and those we meet and sometimes love are shuffled with us. We find ourselves in the same suit held by the Hand of Fate. The game is played, we are discarded, and pass on.”
― Daphne du Maurier, Monte Verità
