I came up stairs into the world, for I was born in a cellar.

William Congreve

But say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved. To pass our youth in dull indifference, to refuse the sweets of life because they once must leave us, is as preposterous as to wish to have been born old, because we one day must be old.

William Congreve

I came upstairs into the world; for I was born in a cellar.
