One’s days were too brief to take the burden
of another’s errors on one’s shoulders. Each
man lived his ownlife and paid his own price
for living it. Theonly pity was onehad topay
sooftenforasinglefault.Onehadtopayover
and over again, indeed. In her dealings with
man, destiny never closed her accounts.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
