In this world people have to pay an extortionate price for any exceptional gift whatever. Where there is great love, there are always wishes. I am enjoying to a full that period of reflection which is the happiest conclusion to a life of action. I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. I tell you, there is no such thing as creative hate! Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything. Art, it seems to me, should simplify. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again. There is only one big thing-desire. And before it, when it is big, all is little. I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor. That is happiness: to be dissolved into something completely great. No one can builu her security upon the nobleness of another person. There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm. |
