So imprudent we are that we wander in the times which are not ours and do not thinkof the only one which belongs to us and so idle are we that we dream of those times which are no more and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. For the present is generally painful to us.

If a man loves a woman for her beauty, does he love her? No for the smallpox, which destroys her beauty without killing her, causes his love to cease. And if any one loves me for my judgment or my memory, does he really love me? No for I can lose these qualities without ceasing to be.
Blaise Pascal
