"Be happy. It's one way of being wise"
"No one asked you to be happy. Get to work."
"You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm."
"It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses."
