“It may have happened, it may not have happened but it could have happened.”
Mark Twain (1835–1910) American author and humorist
“It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it—not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone. But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.”
— Marcus Aurelius, book Meditations
