I have fits of melancholia when I watch the news, but we all do, don't we?

I never know which is worse: the sorrow when you hit the bird or the shame when you miss it.

To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.

Harsh reality is always better than false hope.
