"...a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity. —Thomas Merton, from New Seeds of Contemplation.
or:
"Only a soul full of despair can ever attain serenity and, to be in despair, you must have loved a good deal and still love the world." —Blaise Cendrars, as quoted in Henry Miller's The Books in My Life
