"The truth is that life

is hard and dangerous;

that he who seeks his own happiness

does not find it;

that he who is weak

must suffer;

that he who demands love

will be disappointed;

that he who is greedy

will not be fed;

that he who seeks peace

will find strife;

that truth is only

for the brave;

that joy is only for him

who does not fear to be alone;

that life is only for the one

who is not afraid to die.”

(Joyce Cary)
