How can one know anything at all about people?

Children usually do not blame themselves for getting lost.

If some longing goes unmet, don't be astonished. We call that Life.

Everyone here says in a surprised manner that I have grown... they are so stupid and do not notice that I am standing up straighter!

In our dreams we can have our eggs cooked exactly how we want them, but we can't eat them.

We are imprisoned in the realm of life, like a sailor on his tiny boat, on an infinite ocean.

Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.
