contradictions
"Nothing poisons love more than honesty.
If love lasts until the day we die,
We will live without showing our real
self
To our beloved until the day we die.
Love makes us more beautiful and
distorts us.
Love takes our impulse to lie to an
extreme."
"Kneeling in surrender to great misfortunes
Is far easier
Than struggling against small ones."
"Life
Sometimes makes us choose evil
Willingly,
Inevitably.
We have to live hand in hand
with contradiction."
"Being deprived of the chance
To discover life's deepest secrets
Is a terrible thing
(If I may say so).
It is the misery of a patient on a
special diet
Who has to eat the same thing,
Every day,
Day in, day out,
For his entire life."
