“Between me and life, I see only things that cause anxiety and feel none of those things that bring joy. I’ve noticed that unhappiness is something you see rather than feel, and joy is something you feel rather than see, because by not thinking and not seeing, you do acquire a certain contentment, like that of mystics and bohemians and utter scoundrels. All unhappiness enters through the window of observation and the door of thought.”
