W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence, 1919's Quote - The world is hard and cruel. We are here none knows why, and we go

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
