Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. Never Give In!

“Why, Milena, do you write about our common future which will never be, or is it that why you write about it? (…) Few things are certain, but one is that we’ll never live together, share an apartment, body to body, at a common table, never, not even in the same city. (…) Incidentally, Milena, you must agree when you examine yourself and me and take soundings of the “sea” between “Vienna” and “Prague” with its insurmountably high waves.” (Prague, September 1920) Letters To Milena

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes. Nicholas Nickleby
