I enjoy my life more than others,
for the measure of enjoyment depends
upon the greater or lesser attention that we lend it.
Especially at the moment when I perceive
that my life is so brief, I try to increase its mass,
I try to arrest the speed with which I grasp it, and to
compensate for the haste of its ebb by my
vigour in using it.
The shorter my possession of life,
the deeper and fuller I must make it.
~Michel Montaigne
