“But life is not sad,” Therese insisted. “If you had said ‘the exile is sad,’ I could understand. People make the mistake of calling what must come to an end ‘life,’ but it is only to heavenly things, to what will never end, that one should really apply the word. And in this sense, life is not sad; it is gay, very gay.” (Last Conversations 265)
