"There are only three events in a man’s life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live." "The regeneration of society is the regeneration of society by individual education." More In Marriage "My family and I built my whole career from scratch."― Maria Sharapova "Is marriage for ever? I think you get married with the intention that it will be, but who knows?"― Courteney Cox "My work is a game, a very serious game."― M. C. Escher
