"The pain of not achieving your goals is always greater than the pain needed to achieve those goals"

[todestrieb]

Yesterday is the trace of tomorrow, but tomorrow wants to be without trace, virgin or, rather, would like to be its own trace heralding its advent, anticipated by our expectation. Then yesterday woud be the promise of a trace always still to come. Then the trace would be marked from day after to day after, a trace of the future. What happens would be what in some way has already left traces at the heart of our daily expectations and hopes, tracing the outline of hope, of hope as a trace.

- Edmond Jabès

Lorsque tu vas à l’aventure, laisse quelque trace de ton passage, qui te guidera au retour : une pierre posée sur une autre, des herbes couchées d’un coup de bâton. Mais si tu arrives à un endroit infranchissable ou dangereux, pense que la trace que tu as laissée pourrait égarer ceux qui viendraient à la suivre. Retourne donc sur tes pas et efface la trace de ton passage. Cela s’adresse à quiconque veut laisser dans ce monde des traces de son passage. Et même sans le vouloir, on laisse toujours des traces. Réponds de tes traces devant tes semblables.

have been sick in bed for two days and re-reading some novels...came across this old favorite.

The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey
than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our
own existence, even though it may be in the form of a
monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this
nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. But
happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity.

-Graham Greene
