Book: Family circle

Almost all of life is not possible, Mr. Schmidt, and that is why you writers create imaginary fate.

Human wickedness - and she has no boundaries - largely consists of envy and fear. Misfortune disarms it; therefore, people suffering because no one likes them, found in accidents, as vskolyhnula and public nature, and bittersweet: such a disaster, belittling them, give them a kind of absolution.

A strong man does what he wants, and only what he wants. Act always so as to stay your own Lord, despite the impact the world has on your feelings.
