I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.

Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.

Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.

Appearances often are deceiving.

To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

As our case is new, we must think and act anew.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

It is better to be looked over than overlooked.
