“we interpret life at moments of the deepest desperation.”
“In our deepest moments we say the most inadequate things.”
“Nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.”
“We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things.”
“We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard in order to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what.”
“One cannot use the life to interpret the work. But One can use the work to interpret the life.”
