A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
