In laughter all that is evil comes together, but is pronounced holy and absolved by its own bliss.

A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings; being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.

But eternal liveliness is what counts: what does "eternal life" matter, or life at all?

And when your soul becometh great, then doth it become haughty, and in your sublimity there is wickedness.

Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way of the best happiness.

there they laugh: they do not understand me; I am not the mouth for these ears.

Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
