“ My life has never been so agitated that I felt tempted by the chaotic wish to throw all existence into confusion, but in my daily life I have often discovered how profitable it is to give sorrow an ethical expression, not to erase the aesthetic factor in sorrow but to master it ethically. As long as sorrow is quiet and humble, I do not fear it ”
