Nationality does not matter. Wherever and whenever you are, there are always similarities. Between humans, that is.
It's like the monks used to tell me, "Sometimes the shadows of the past can be felt by the present".
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
We live. We die. And the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
*Tout vient à point à celui qui sait attendre.
