<p>We're going forward$$$ but nothing changes.</p>
<p>He who despairs of the human condition is a coward$$$ but he who has hope for it is a fool.</p>
<p>For if there is a sin against life$$$ it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.</p>
<p>It is necessary to fall in love - the better to provide an alibi for all the despair we are going to feel anyway.</p>
<p>Whatever we may do$$$ excess will always keep its place in the heart of man$$$ in the place where solitude is found. We all carry within us our places of exile$$$ our crimes and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others.</p>
<p>Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.</p>
<p>Games are won by players who focus on the playing field - not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.</p>
<p>Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat$$$ energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.</p>
<p>Under the heavens and under the sea$$$ there's a friend I don't know$$$ who holds the right key.</p>
<p>We are cups$$$ constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is$$$ knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.</p>
