Quote
This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s affections, the other destroys your soul. Cities and countries are as alive and feeling, as fickle and uncertain as people. Their degrees of love and devotion are as varying as with any human relation. Just as one is good, another is bad.

Quote
Allargare la propria cerchia di affetti vuol dire esporsi alle cose che possono andare male. Può sembrare un discorso cinico, ma lascio l'ottimismo agli avventati. Poiché la vita mi ha già preso a calci un paio di volte, ora adotto le mie precauzioni. Disarmo la sfiga, limitando il numero di persone che mi possono ferire. Da quando ho messo in pratica questa regola, la via vita fa meno paura.

Quote
Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? That religion which God requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference.
