I should be driven desperate if I knew who I was. I meet somebody who says “you’re this or that”, and I feel like I don’t want to be anything.

“I felt a little sad and weary, but my heart was satisfied. Something in me was ripening in these painful yet commonplace experiences.”

“The purest heart is precisely the one most willing to comprehend his own guilt most deeply.”

“I am so tired I could lie down among the trees until I was nothing,”

“This spring is so gentle that I cannot sleep; I cannot contain my tears,”

“There is only one inborn erroneous notion… that we exist in order to be happy. So long as we persist in this inborn error… the world seems to us full of contradictions. For at every step, in great things and small, we are bound to experience that the world and life are certainly not arranged for the purpose of maintaining a happy existence… hence the countenances of almost all elderly persons wear the expression of disappointment.”
