Quotes by Joseph Roux

“We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.”

“The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable.”

“When unhappy, one doubts everything; when happy, one doubts nothing.”

“If you feel happy to the point of saying so, listen! unhappiness is at your door.”
