Quoting Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, Ch. Barcelona and Madrid, 1939, Ukemi (2016 edition)

When we accept our role, even the most modest of roles, only then will we be happy, only then can you live in peace, and die in peace. Because what gives meaning to life, gives meaning to death.
