As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?

I hid myself within myself ... and quietly wrote down all my joys, sorrows and contempt in my diary.

How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day.

We're not the only people that have had to suffer, there have always been people that've had to.

Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. 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. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.

I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.
