“One who cannot leave himself behind on the threshold of the moment and forget the past, who cannot stand on a single point, like a goddess of victory, without fear or giddiness, will never know what happiness is; and, worse still, will never do anything that makes others happy.”

The problem wasn’t really a scientific one. The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live.”
