I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, to dominate them.
It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in suchan inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
生活中真正的悲剧往往以这种不艺术的方式发生,它们以粗鲁的暴力、绝对的矛盾、荒谬的没有意义、完全缺乏风格的方式伤害我们。
