“There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is a miracle.”

— Albert Einstein

“When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer - say traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep - it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best, and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not, nor can I force them.”

— Mozart

“The weakness of men is the façade of strength; the strength of women is the façade of weakness.”

— Warren Farrell

At the very least, these inconsiderate people should direct their sneeze or cough into a folded handkerchief, a paper towel, perhaps a heavy-duty napkin or even toilet paper or a tissue. Whenever, or wherever this happened, I wished I had brought a face mask with me;.
