Come? Vuol ella forse mandarmi via di qui senza dirmi nulla?

Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain. Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day. You can have it all. You just can't have it all at once. In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be. It's very hard to take yourself too seriously when you look at the world from outer space. He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave. It is not enough to aim; you must hit.
