    "Our life is like a land journey: too even and easy and dull over long distances across the plains, too hard and painful up the steep grades; but on the summits of the mountain, you have a magnificent view - and feel exalted - and your eyes are full of happy tears - and you want to sing - and you wish you had wings! And then - you can't stay there, but you must continue your journey - you begin climbing down the other side, so busy with your footholds that your summit experience is forgotten."

  18. Oooohhhhh....

    Speaking of Goethe...
    This is one of my favorites:

    This is the true measure of love:
    When we believe that we alone can love,
    that no one could ever have loved so before us,
    and that no one will ever love in the same way after us.
    -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
