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.

I simply can't imagine the world will ever be normal again for us. I do talk about "after the war," but it's as if I'm talking about a castle in the air, something that can never come true.

In the future I'm going to devote less time to sentimentality and more time to reality.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

You can get around to meaningful conversations more quickly in the dark than with the sun tickling your face.

People can so easily be tempted by slackness... and by money.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
