Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.

We’re all alive, but we don’t know why or what for; we’re all searching for happiness; we’re all leading lives which are different and yet the same.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters.
