― Stefan Zweig, The Burning Secret and other stories

“The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present.”

“The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or of joy. The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present. Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone.”
― Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams
