—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“There’s one solution that ends all life’s problems.”
—Chinese proverb.
