I know at last what distinguishes man from animals; financial worries. - Romain Rolland

Силната личност забравя злото, което са ѝ сторили, а - уви! - и злото, което сама е сторила, щом разбере, че не може да го поправи.

ليس هناك أقسى على النفس من أن يتذكر الإنسان وهو في غمرة شقائه أياما سعيدة مرت به

A man who suffers can lessen his anguish by knowing whence it comes. By thought he can locate it in a certain portion of his body which can be cured, or, if necessary, torn away. He fixes the bounds of it, and separates it from himself. A child has no such illusive resource. His first encounter with suffering is more tragic and more true. Like his own being, it seems infinite. He feels that it is seated in his bosom, housed in his heart, and is mistress of his flesh. And it is so. It will not leave his body until it has eaten it away.
