In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds. – Thor Heyerdahl
Those who have experienced the most, have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience, and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war. – Thor Heyerdahl
