All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.
... if fiction does not show us a better life than reality, what is the good of it?
what is unreasonable is irrefutable.
Men can bear all things but good days.
One should not run on a new road.
No man was ever ruined from without; the final ruin comes from within, when you turn hopeless and lose courage!
