different movies. In this film he played a father who's wife left him .....

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1019.... is quoted as saying "My life is for itself and not for a spectacle." I think that he means that each and every person has their own life to live and that they shouldn't devote their time to worrying about what other people are doing. You have enough to worry about with what's going on in your own lives.
