There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

What do you want meaning for? Life is desire, not meaning.

That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.

I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then.

The more one lives alone on the river or in the open country, the clearer it becomes that nothing is more beautiful or great than to perform the ordinary duties of one's daily life simply and naturally.

We live in the world when we love it.
