Section One
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.
What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!"
Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human
Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.
I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.

People speak sometimes about the

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.
Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.
"I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can't help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year. I feel I know you so well that I couldn't
