As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
