I think human beings must have faith or must look for faith, otherwise our life is empty, empty. To live and not to know why the cranes fly, why children are born, why there are stars in the sky. You must know why you are alive, or else everything is nonsense, just blowing in the wind.

..when one has no real life, one lives by mirages. It's still better than nothing.

The more cultured a man, the less fortunate he is.

The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence. Without this silence, happiness would be impossible.

No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.

The more refined one is, the more unhappy.

Every coming year is as bad as the previous one, the only difference being that in most cases it is even worse.
