1 " When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. "

2 " The impeccable watchmaker geared the noble self to suffer. The ineluctable part of being human is perpetual sorrow, grief, and misery. Suffering is part of living.

Between birth and death is comedic conjugation, the haunting prelude to the end of the self. "

"
