I must pack my short lifer full of interesting events and creative activity. Philosophy and aesthetic contemplation are not enough.

Suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character and unknown strength for service. People who go through life unscathed by sorrow and untouched by pain tend to be shallow in their perspectives on life.
