spoiler so vague as to be useless for my D&D players today:

Gustave Flaubert wrote "On ne saura jamais ce qu'il a fallu être triste pour entreprendre de ressusciter Carthage" in an 1859 letter to Ernest-Aimé Feydeau, perhaps most famously quoted by Walter Benjamin in his Theses on the Philosophy of History

“I love walking around the city. I catch the Metro North train at 11:40 every morning. I go to the same gym that I’ve been going to for forty years. Then I just start walking. If you take big strides it really stretches you out. And there are millions of other people walking around. You never feel alone. People smile at you. On weekends I’ll bring my granddaughters with me and we’ll tour different neighborhoods. We’ve seen ten or twelve so far. Sometimes I get to borrow them for the whole afternoon. But they’re at sleep away camp right now so I’m missing them a lot. And that’s about it. I do a little shopping at the thrift store. I stop and read the paper. I eat at outdoor restaurants. It’s simple but I found what makes me happy and I’m doing it. And when I’m heading home at night, sometimes I think: ‘I just had the best day of my life.’”
