Quote of the Day (5) - Oscar Wilde on the Secret of Life

The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived. – Oscar Wilde

I have a different version to offer: The secret of life is having fun at what one must do. In the absence of any meaning in life, we humans, "slaves of our passions," as David Hume famously put it, benefit much from a talent or special dexterity, if you have it, to enjoy the activities at the centre of your life.
