Nobelprijs Literatuur 2013 - Alice Munro
The thing is to be happy,' he said.
'No matter what. Just try that. You
can.
It gets to be easier and easier.
It's nothing to do with
circumstances.
You wouldn't believe how good it is.
Accept everything
and then tragedy disappears.
and then tragedy disappears.
Or tragedy lightens, anyway,
you're just there,
you're just there,
going along easy in the world.”

Als we ouder worden,
verliezen we heel wat fouten.
We hebben ze dan niet meer nodig.

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves.
It never leaves.
It’s always there,
watching, steadfast,
knowing us in our light and dark moments,
changing
forever just as we do.
Every day it’s a different version of itself.
Sometimes weak and wan,
sometimes strong and full of light.
The moon
understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain.
Uncertain.
Alone.
Cratered by imperfections.
Strength comes from struggle.
When you learn to see your
struggles as opportunities to
become stronger, better, wiser,
then your thinking shifts from
"I can't do this"
to
"I must do this.

Come now,
don't make such a funeral face.
It isn't dying that's sad;
it's living when you're not happy.
Octave Mirbeau, Le Jardin des supplices
