Once there was a man -- <br />Oh, so wise! <br />In all drink <br />He detected the bitter, <br />And in all touch <br />He found the sting. <br />At last he cried thus: <br />"There is nothing -- <br />No life, <br />No joy, <br />No pain -- <br />There is nothing save opinion, <br />And opinion be damned."<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-there-was-a-man/
