Architects of Our Own Sadness

Alain (1868-1951), On Happiness, III (tr. Jane E. Cottrell):
It is clear that in mulling over harsh judgments, sinister predictions, and bad memories, we fashion our own sadness; in a certain sense, we savor it.

Il est clair qu'à remâcher des jugements sévères, des prédictions sinistres, des souvenirs noirs, on se présente sa propre tristesse; on la déguste en quelque sorte.
