However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

Kad naiđu teška, mutna vremena i učestaju sukobi i uzbune među ljudima, otvori se odjednom Biblija na njenim najtamnijim stranicama i naš užas ili naše nerazumevanje nađu drevne i poznate reči kao jedini izraz.
Gledajući vojnike i žandarme koji su do malopre bili i ubijali, video sam im u očima, duboko ispod spoljnjeg besa i drskosti, jedva primetno kolebanje u kom je bilo i životinjskog straha i neke želje da se ne bude na tom mestu ni u tom obliku. U tom drhtanju u dnu zenica pročitao sam odjednom jasan i nesumnjiv jadni, strašni i detinjski Kainov odgovor: - Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?
