“The marvelous, I say again, is all around, at every time and in every age. It is, or should be, life itself, as long as that life is not made deliberately sordid as this society does so cleverly with its schools, religion, law courts, war occupations and liberations, concentration camps and horrible material and mental poverty. And yet, I remember, it was in Rennes prison where they had me locked up in May 1940, because I had committed the crime of thinking such a society was my enemy, unless it was simply because it had forced me like so many others to defend it twice in my life when I felt nothing in common with it.”

“I woke up one day and realized?--I am just tired. Not in a desperate way, not from a quitters point of view. This is different. It's the taste of disappointment. Over-whelming disappointment. In life, in situations, in experiences, in other people...but most of all? In my own God-damned self.”

“Era una di quelle sere in cui la tristezza può impossessarsi delle persone più allegre senza che ciò provochi alcuna sorpresa; quando negli emotivi l'amore si trasforma in angoscia, la fiducia in desiderio e la speranza precipita nell'apprensione; quando il ricordo non suscita alcun rimpianto per le occasioni che ci sono sfuggite e l'attesa non induce all'azione.”

“After a storm comes fair weather, after sorrow comes joy.”

Joy Sadness

Author:Russian proverb

“Her simple, careless, childish flow of spirits often made me sad. She seemed to me like a butterfly at play in a flickering bit of sunshine, and mistaking it for broad and eternal summer. We sometimes hold mirth to stricter accountability than sorrow; it must show good cause, or the echo of its laughter comes back drearily.”
