“The world would be a sad place without mysteries.”

“The world isn't a sad place, it's just big.”

“Believe that you have somethikng important to contribute to the world, and that the world would be a lesser place without that contribution.”

“Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?”

“Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.”

“[I]sn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it?”

“How sad, ye gods, how sad the world is at evening, how mysterious the mists over the swamps. You will know it when you have suffered greatly before dying, when you have walked through the world carrying an unbearable burden. You know it too when you are weary and ready to leave this earth without regret; it's mists, it's swamps and it's rivers; ready to give yourself into the arms of death with a light heart, knowing that death alone can comfort you.”

“There is no place so dangerous as a world without magic.”

“Yes, I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. Sad, sad, sad…”

“A world without love would be no world.”
