Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived.

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.

Life can only be understood back- wards; but it must be lived forwards.

Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
