The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

The truth, as the light, makes blind.

Art and revolt will die only with the last man.

I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

There are means that cannot be excused. And I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice. I don't want just any greatness for it, particularly a greatness born of blood and falsehood. I want to keep it alive by keeping justice alive.
