Kindle Notes & Highlights
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Many, in fact, feign love of life to evade love itself. They try their skill at enjoyment and at “indulging in experiences.” But this is illusory. It requires a rare vocation to be a sensualist.
contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation.
Their rivalry is all the stronger just because it probably has no basis. Having every reason to like each other, they loathe each other proportionately.
