"Being broken open by the storm is your only hope."
"Take the matter as you find it ask no questions, utter no remonstrances; it is your best wisdom. You expected bread and you have got a stone: break your teeth on it, and don't shriek because the nerves are martyrised; do not doubt that your mental stomach - if you have such a thing - is strong as an ostrich's; the stone will digest. You held out your hand for an egg, and fate put into it a scorpion. Show no consternation; close your fingers firmly upon the gift; let it sting through your palm. Never mind; in time, after your hand and arm have swelled and quivered long with torture, the squeezed scorpion will die, and you will have learned the great lesson how to endure without a sob."

"Life demands discomfort and pain."

"Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never."
"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
"It is in the thick of a calamity that one gets hardened to the truth, in other words to silence."
"Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people."
