Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.

The pleasure of the moment begins to wither almost as soon as it blossoms; our pleasures are soon swallowed up in time's relentless torrent.

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

I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

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

Old age is by nature rather talkative.

Nature is not human-hearted.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.
