"the best thing for being sad.. is to learn something. that is the only thing that never fails. you may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorders of your veins. you may miss your only love. you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics or know that your honor has been trampled in the sewer by baser minds. there is only one thing for them: to learn. learn why the world wags and what wags it. that is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. learning is the thing for you."
