“It should be our care not so much to live a long life as a satisfactory one.”
“Being cared for when one is dead is less satisfactory than being cared for when one is alive.”
“We are living now. We shall not live long. No one should tell us we shall live again. This is our little while. This is our chance.”
“Oh, I wish so much to live again! Each minute, each instant of life should be blessedness for man... they should, surely they should! It is man's own duty to arrange it so; it is his law--a hidden but surely existing one...”
“Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives.”
“Thus do the gods justify the life of man: they themselves live it--the only satisfactory theodicy!”
