Simple Life

Rainy Evening

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.

- Jaques to Duke Senior in As You Like It by Shakespeare

Perhaps Shakespeare was right - maybe the whole world really was a stage. Without a play, everything might fall into pieces. The key to happiness was not in being yourself, because what did it even mean? Everybody has several selves. No. The key to happiness is in finding yourself the lie that suits you the best.

- Of the novel How to Stop Time by Matt Haig (translated of the Finnish edition)
