Henryk Sienkiewicz Quote

The evil genius bent upon wrecking my life had not taken in account one thing: a man crushed and utterly wretched cares less for himself than a happy one. In presence of that indifference fate becomes more or less powerless. I was and am still in that frame of mind that, if angry Fortuna came to me in person, and said: Go to perdition, I should reply calmly: Be it so,—not out of sorrow for the loss of Aniela, but from mere indifference to everything within or without me.
