There Is A Kind Of Sadness That Comes From Knowing Too Much, From Seeing The World As It Truly Is. It

There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.

Virginia Woolf

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
