It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943

Unfortunately sometimes one can't do what one thinks is right without making someone else unhappy.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943
