Quote
From an article on The Age online.
In a piece reprinted in the Kennedy anthology, author Henry van Dyke writes: "Are you willing to own, that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness to make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings? Then you can keep Christmas."
