Songs for the Sorrow Hearted

“To see yourself is to die, to die to all illusions and all hypocrisy. It takes great courage to dare look at yourself – something which can take place only in the mirror of the Word. You must want only the truth, neither vainly wish to be flattered nor self–tormentingly want to be made a pure devil.”

“Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic; if it is pulled out I shall die.”

“The lives of most people are like the grass – only the trees catch the storm, and they experience a great deal, but the grass experiences practically nothing.”

“To be finished with life before life is finished with you is not to finish the task at all.”
