"You tell me 'life is hard to bear'

but if it were otherwise why would

you have your pride in the morning

and your resignation in the evening?

Life is hard to bear, but do not

pretend to be so tender! We are all

of us pretty fine asses and assesses

of burden! What have we in common

with the rosebud which trembles

because a drop of dew is lying upon it

It is true: we love life, not

because we are used to living, but

because we are used to loving.

There is always a certain madness

in love. But there is also a

certain method in madness."
