“The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good. It is necessary and not at all shameful to take pleasure in the little world.”
“We are crucified to the world, and the world must be as crucified to us. It esteems us as fools, let us esteem it as mad.”
“Our dearest one. Fear nothing of the forest. There is no danger in solitude. We have no need of our brothers. Let us forget their good and our evil, let us forget all things save that we are together and that there is joy as a bond between us. Give us your hand. Look ahead. It is our own world, Golden One, a strange, unknown world, but our own.”
“It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.”
“Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.”
“Let us hope that we are all preceded in this world by a love story.”
