Quotes by Narcyza Żmichowska (?)

“Jeśli nieszczęśliwy w paroksyzmie rozpaczy, w napadzie obłąkania sam sobie życia nie odbierze, to nie wierz mu nigdy, że chce umierać - nieszczęśliwy chce żyć właśnie- nieszczęśliwy trzyma się jutra całymi siłami drętwiejących rąk swoich, bo z jutrem łączy go coś silniejszego od nadziei samej, łączy go ciekawość: - jakie też to szczęście być może? I nieszczęśliwy boi się wszystkiego, nieszczęśliwy jest najnikczemniejszym tchórzem, chociaż sam przed sobą i przed drugimi zapiera się tego - nieszczęśliwy, gdy mu umierać przychodzi, umiera z przekleństwem na ustach, wyrzuca piekielne szyderstwo Bogu i pluje na świat, co mu niezrozumiały, niepojęty, dał potrzeby bez zaspokojenia, dał czas do cierpień, ale nie dał jednej chwili do radości.”
