“One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness. ”

“One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.”

“To engage in a battle, one must know oneself, believe in oneself, and overcome one's own obstacle”

“That one must either explain life to oneself so that it does not seem to be an evil mockery by some sort of devil, or one must shoot oneself.”

“For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”

“One must not live one's life through men but must be complete on oneself as a woman of substance.”
