"Most men (humans) live a life of quiet desperation."

I had not loved enough. I’d been busy, busy, so busy, preparing for life, while life floated by me, quiet and swift as a regatta.
LORENE CARY

Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify. Thoreau
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. Thoreau
