My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.
Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
