QUOTE : Ah, that's what one has to pay for the Promethean fire! It is not enough merely to endure, you have to love your melancholy, to respect your doubts and questions: they are the surplus, the luxury of life, which appears for the most part on the summits of happiness when there are no base desires. There is no room for them in the lives of ordinary people, nor among those anguishing questions. But for those who have encountered them at the right time they come not as a millstone, but as welcome guests.
