“One should never make a show of one’s unhappiness: Good fortune alone creates good fortune among men, misfortune was never fortunate, and you cannot traffic in misery, or draw benefit from it, when it is real. No one was ever more respected or more appreciated by being more unhappy than others. And therefore it is expedient for the unfortunate one, if he wants to be well received and accepted, or to be liked, not only to hide his misfortunes but to pretend to be numbered among the fortunate, to assert this claim, to combat the rumor or anyone who challenges him on it, and take great pains to deceive others on this point.”

“Your sorrow is fruitless, and will not change the course of destiny. Very true; and for that very reason I am sorry.”

“That's what Jesus meant,[...] venturing out on the sea of Galilee. He saw it from the lemming point of view. Without the millions who had plunged and drowned, there could have been no miracle? The successful loner was only the other part of it: the last piece to the jigsaw puzzle, whose shape had already been created by the Preterite, like the last blank space on the table.”

“While we are reasoning concerning life, life is gone; and death, though perhaps they receive him differently, yet treats alike the fool and the philosopher.”
