ما يكونه الإنسانُ في ذاته، وما يبقى معه في وحدته وعزلته، وما لا يستطيع أحدٌ أن يمنحه أو ينتزعه منه، هذا أجلُّ عنده بوضوح مما يملكه، ومما قد يكون عليه في أعين الآخرين.

“What a person is for himself, what abides with him in his loneliness and isolation, and what no one can give or take away from him, this is obviously more essential for him than everything that he possesses or what he may be in the eyes of others.”Arthur Schopenhauer — 101 Facts of life (2016)
