I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison. Simone de Beauvoir
Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?-Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out. William Makepeace Thackeray
