More From Jean Paul

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.
Wings Eagles Broken
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.
Summer Sports Winter
Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. we like to keep it a secret. or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are.

The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. you know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, "no i'm happy for you"? thats when it's really sad.
Trying Lips Kind
The great renunciation of old age as it prepared for death, wraps itself up in its chrysalis, which may be observed at the end of lives that are at all prolonged, even in old lovers who have lived for one another, in old friends bound by the closest ties of mutual sympathy, who, after a certain year, cease to make the necessary journey or even to cross the street to see one another, cease to correspond, and know that they will communicate no more in this world.
Journey Years Ties
It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.

I didn't know my mother had it. i think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. you know, you don't function anymore. you shut down. you feel like you are in a void.
