“ love make us poets, and the approach of death should make us philosophers. ”
Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable, what it is or what it means can never be said.
~ George Santayana
The worship of power is an old religion.
To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world.
The fact of having been born is a bad augury for immortality.
