Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.
No one is more miserable than the person who wills everything and can do nothing.
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
I never believe much in happiness. I never believe in misery either. Those are things you see on the stage or the screen or the printed page, they never really happen to you in life.
Human misery is so appalling nowadays that if we allowed ourselves to dwell on it we should only add imaginary miseries of our own to the real miseries of others without doing them any good.
Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
