"Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and great words that sometimes do you good. His life has had much difficulty and sorrow. Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words. — Rainer Maria Rilke One must not cut oneself off from the world. No one who lives in the sunlight makes a failure of his life. My whole effort, whatever the situation, misfortune or disillusion, must be to make contact again but even within this sadness I feel a great lead of joy and great desire to love simply at the sight of a hill against the evening sky. Contacts with truth, with nature, first of all, and then with the art of those who have understood and with my own art if I am capable of it. Otherwise, the sea, sunshine and delight, with the moist lips of desire, will simply lift there in front of me. Smiling despair. No solution, but constantly exercising an authority over myself that I know is useless. The essential thing is not to lose oneself and not to lose that part of oneself that lies sleeping in the world. — Albert Camus Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow"
