Life is a precious and unique gift, and we squander it foolishly and carelessly, forgetful of its brevity. Either we look back with yearning on the past or else we live in the expectation of a future in which, it seems to us, life will really begin: whereas the present – that is, our life as it actually is – is wasted in these fruitless dreams and regrets.
–Alexander Elchaninov (1881-1934)
