“No, the secret is that there's no reward and we have to endure our characters and our natures as best we can, because no amount of experience or insight is going to rectify our deficiencies, our self-regard, or our cupidity. We have to learn that our desires do not find any real echo in the world. We have to accept that the people we love do not love us, or not in the way we hope. We have to accept betrayal and disloyalty, and, hardest of all, that someone is finer than we are in character or intelligence.” PeopleWorldWayRealSelfCharacterDesireSecretAcceptingAmountRegardRewardsEndureInsightBetrayalHardestEchoesDeficiencyDisloyaltyRectify Author:Sándor Márai
“It is not true that fate slips silently into our lives. It steps in through the door that we have opened, and we invite it to enter. No one is strong enough or cunning enough to avert by word or deed the misfortune that is rooted in the iron laws of his character and his life.” EnoughCharacterLawStrongStepsOur LivesFateDoorsDeedsIronMisfortunesInvitesSlipsRootedCunningStrong EnoughAvert Author:Sándor Márai
