You Know What I'm Afraid Of? That

I Was Afraid Of Marriage. I Had The Impression Married Life Would Take Up All My Time. I Saw Myself Drowning In Visits And Parties. No Freedom.

I Found Myself In A Sea In Which The Waves Of Joy And Sorrow Were Clashing Against Each Other.

It's A Most Distressing Affliction To Have A Sentimental Heart And A Skeptical Mind.

I Was A Government Employee In The Morning And A Writer In The Evening.

Without Literature My Life Would Be Miserable.
