Love your solitude and bear with sweet-sounding lamentation the suffering it causes you.

Lieben Sie Ihre Einsamkeit, und tragen Sie den Schmerz, den sie Ihnen verursacht mit schoklingender Klage.

Another quote originally in German

Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
