Mary’s Quotes

“Not my manner of thinking but the manner of thinking of others has been the source of my unhappiness.”

“There is no true love save in suffering, and in this world we have to choose either love, which is suffering, or happiness. And love leads us to no other happiness than that of love itself and its tragic consolation of uncertain hope. The moment love becomes happy and satisfied, it no longer desires and it is no longer love. The satisfied, the happy, do not love; they fall asleep in habit, near neighbor to annihilation. To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be. We are the more—that is the more divine—the greater our capacity for suffering, or rather, for anguish.”
― Miguel de Unamuno, Tragic Sense of Life

But the god of all the people I hated”
