Death is the supreme Festival on the road to freedom.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
