Society is a vast stage where all sorts of comedies are played out, but these comedies must never make you forget what is most essential

"So many men and women feel like deposed kings or queens in exile! They are aware of their own true worth and think no one else recognizes it in them, and they suffer from the conditions they find themselves in: society has no regard for them. But what is society? It’s a vast stage where all sorts of comedies are played out, but these comedies must never make you forget what is most essential, that the real ‘you’ is the one inside, not the show you put on on this stage. Keep faith only with the power of your spirit and the immensity of your soul. Do you need the regard of others so much? And even if you do become the object of their regard, do you know how long that will last? Human beings are so changeable, so fickle!"
