“Every person is his own wheel of fortune and a jack-in-the-box, the one and only cause of his own troubles. It just foolishly seems like the world is full of evil people who are guilty of everything. It may be full, but that doesn't matter.”
“By the way, have you noticed that this world is full of people who are absolutely sure that they understand perfectly well what is happening to others?”
“When you know what to talk about with a person, this is a sign of mutual sympathy. When you have something to keep quiet about together, this is the beginning of true friendship.”
