The best way to enjoy your job is to imagine yourself without one.
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Now it seems to me that love of some kind is the only possible explanation of the extraordinary amount of suffering that there is in the world.
