Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘One always hurries towards happiness,
but of God who, while limiting the power of man, has created in him infinite desires!
The heart breaks when it has swelled too much in the warm breath of hope, then finds itself enclosed in cold reality.
every sorrow inspires some awe,
At least uncertainty means the continuation of hope.’
There is only one serious matter to be considered in life, and that is death.
No man truly in love has ever let the hands of a clock go peacefully on their way.
Moral wounds have the peculiarity that they are invisible, but do not close: always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain tender and open in the heart.
Truly generous men are always ready to feel compassion when their enemy’s misfortune exceeds the bounds of their hatred.
there is merely the comparison between one state and another, nothing more.
