“ We seek not the present but the past, not joy, for that is always present, but sorrow, because its nature is to pass by, and in the instant of the present one sees it only as one sees a person of whom one just catches sight the moment he turns the corner and disappears.
But sometimes sorrow is even better at concealing itself, and the outer gives us not the least hint of anything. ”
 Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (1843). copy citation
