Great Lovers Will Always Be Unhappy, Because,

The Real Affliction Of Old Age Is Remorse.

To Choose A Hardship For Ourselves Is Our Only Defense Against That Hardship. This Is What Is Meant By Accepting Suffering. Those Who, By Their Very Nature, Can Suffer Completely, Utterly, Have An Advantage. That Is How We Can Disarm The Power Of Suffering, Make It Our Own Creation, Our Own Choice; Submit To It. A Justification For Suicide.

The Act The Act Must Not Be A Revenge. It Must Be A Calm, Weary Renunciation, A Closing Of Accounts, A Private, Rhythmic Deed. The Last Remark.

Men Who Have A Tempestuous Inner Life And Do Not Seek To Give Vent To It By Talking Or Writing Are Simply Men Who Have No Tempestuous Inner Life. Give Company To A Lonely Man And He Will Talk More Than Anyone.

You Wait For Nothing If Not For The Word That Will Burst From The Deep Like A Fruit Among Branches.
