Gentlemen, I am tormented by questions; answer them for me.
Drowning men, it is said, cling to wisps of straw.
I drink because I wish to multiply my sufferings.
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
Be not forgetful of prayer. Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, there will be new feeling and new meaning in it, which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education.
And yet I am convinced that man will never give up true suffering- that is, destruction and chaos. Why, suffering is the sole root of consciousness.
