God, I am afraid he won't give me his answer today. If only somebody would help me - it is all so terribly depressing.

I want to be a pretty corpse.

When he says he loves me, it only means he loves me at that particular instant. Like his promises, which he never keeps. Why does he torment me like this, when he could finish it off at once?

Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it.

Perhaps he wanted to be alone with Dr. G., who was here, but he should have let me know. At Hoffmann's I felt I was sitting on hot coals, expecting him to arrive every moment.

I wish that I myself did have faith in God, that I had a religion, sometimes. But not always.

All values must be won by contest, and after they have been won, they must be defended.

When I was younger I wanted to be an airline pilot, but that lasted for about 30 seconds.

Its not always necessary to be strong, but to feel strong.

Just because you're in the driver's seat, doesn't mean you have to run people over.

Do not search for the truth; Only cease to cherish opinions.
