“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.”

“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that… Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.”

“Unhappy, but not unhappy enough.”

“Nothing is more real than nothing.”

“For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.”

“Nothing matters but the writing. There has been nothing else worthwhile... a stain upon the silence”

“Nothing to be done..”
