SO GOOD QUOTES

An entire entertainment and travel industry is occupied today with just this: to lighten the burden of despondency for our poor contemporaries, or rather, to prevent them even from realizing that they are afflicted with this evil.  There must be no standing still, no emptiness!  “Grief shared is grief halved,” and the beneficial effects of a trip, of a “change of scene,” are they not known from of old?  But the evil is not remedied by this, only postponed.  The beautiful illusion vanishes and despondency returns and requires yet stronger doses.

The yearning so characteristic of despondency for diverse amusements in general, and especially for human companionship, can become almost overwhelming.
