For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed, they must be interrupted. - Jean Paul

Has it never occurred to us, when surrounded by sorrows, that they may be sent to us only for our instruction, as we darken the cages of birds when we wish to teach them to sing?

Thus our actual path in life, as well as the course of our ideas, is often indicated by accident; the continuance only, and establishment of the one or the other, is dependent on our free will.

Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
