Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour

that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

When one gets angry, it is always angry AT someone -
perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.

of happy people and unhappy people
through two different, but complementary mechanisms,

for others who are like me in some way -
in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

that you may be a conqueror,
and this cannot be without toil.
