"All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing." ― Maurice Maeterlinck Topic(s): Death More From Maurice Maeterlinck "An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it." "When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough." "Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence."
