To Love Is Not To Look At

If You Love A Flower That Lives On A Star, It Is Sweet To Look At The Sky At Night. All The Stars Are A-bloom With Flowers.

A Civilization Is Built On What Is Required Of Men, Not On That Which Is Provided For Them.

To Forget A Friend Is Sad. Not Everyone Has Had A Friend.

For I Do Not Want Any One To Read My Book Carelessly. I Have Suffered Too Much Grief In Setting Down These Memories. Six Years Have Already Passed Since My Friend Went Away From Me, With His Sheep. If I Try To Describe Him Here, It Is To Make Sure That I Shall Not Forget Him. To Forget A Friend Is Sad. Not Every One Has Had A Friend. And If I Forget Him, I May Become Like The Grown-ups Who Are No Longer Interested In Anything But Figures.

One's Suffering Disappears When One Lets Oneself Go, When One Yields - Even To Sadness.
