Dictum...

"Life can be compared to a piece of embroidered material of which, everyone in the first half of his time, comes to see the top side, but in the second half, the reverse side. The latter is not so beautiful, but is more instructive because it enables one to see how the threads are connected together."
--Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena, vol. 1, p. 482
