Except for a few good times, we all endured years of pain and sickness, and we were always aware of our uselessness. Our inner state, perceptions, and ways of working are extremely unhealthy and destructive.
At this time, making some rules for ourselves, such as getting up early, taking a cold shower, and going outside to walk in the snow, will make us very satisfied with ourselves in an hour.
—Thomas Mann
