In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.

Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.

There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.

I know myself too well to believe in pure virtue.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
