Happiness is hidden in the unnecessary and in those impractical things that bring delight to the inner person. . . .

“It is a dreadful thing to see the dead city. Next to the port I found children, women, the old, waiting for a way to leave. I entered the houses, there were houses where the coffee and pita bread were left on the table, and I could not avoid [thinking] that this, indeed, had been the picture in many Jewish towns [i.e., in Europe, during World War II].” ThinkingWorldWayChildrenWarNextFoundHouseLeftWaitingCitiesEuropeTownsTablesCoffeeBreadWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IPort Author:Golda Meir
