More From Jean Rostand

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.
Morning Thinking Fire
We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.
Commitment Liberty Doe
And what the people but a herd confus'd, a miscellaneous rabble, who extol things vulgar, and, well weigh'd, scarce worth the praise? they praise, and they admire, they know not what; and know not whom, but as one leads the other; and what delight to be by such extoll'd, to live upon their tongues, and be their talk, of whom to be disprais'd were no small praise?
People Tongue Delight
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

Neither i nor anyone else in germany would even consider placing any "conditions" on our possible return to the league of nations. whether or not we return to this body depends exclusively upon whether we can belong to it as a completely equal nation. this is not a "condition," but a matter of course.
