Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?

"Where are we going? Near to death an old woman....What are we? Day to day existence.....Where do we come from? Source. Child. Life begins....Behind a tree two sinister figures, cloaked in garments of somber color, introduce, near the tree of knowledge, their note of anguish caused by that very knowledge in contrast to some simple beings in a virgin nature, which might be paradise as conceived by humanity, who give themselves up to the happiness of living."

Paul Gauguin, French Painter (1848-1903)
