You have to learn to do everything, even to die.

This joy you feel is life.

War is never fatal but always lost. Always lost.

There is no real reality to a really imagined life any more.

There are of course people who are more important than others in that they have more importance in the world but this is not essential and it ceases to be. I have no sense of difference in this respect because every human being comprises the combination form.

I simply contend that the middle-class ideal which demands that people be affectionate, respectable, honest and content, that they avoid excitements and cultivate serenity is the ideal that appeals to me, it is in short the ideal of affectionate family life, of honorable business methods.

The family is always the family but during vacations it is an extended family and that is exhausting.
