The world is hard and cruel. We are here none knows why, and we go none knows whither. We must be very humble. We must see the beauty of quietness. We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us. – W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence, 1919

Life is a bed of water filling from many springs and we seem not to know when one gushing flow will oer flood the banks only to be succeeded by a drought. – Anon.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities. – Frank Lloyd Wright
