Arthur Schopenhauer: "Most of the glories of the world are mere outward show, like the scenes on a stage: there is nothing real about them. Ships festooned and hung with pennants, firing of cannon, illuminations, beating of drums and blowing of trumpets, shouting and applauding -- these are all the outward sign, the pretense and suggestion -- as it were the hieroglyphic -- of joy. But just there, joy is, as a rule, not to be found; it is the only guest who has declined to be present at the festival."
