Life is a preparation for the future; and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.
In my experience, the best creative work is never done when one is unhappy.
An evening everyone agrees, is a lost evening.
I have remained a simple fellow who asks nothing of the world; only my youth is gone - the enchanting youth that forever walks on air.
He who cherishes the value of cultures cannot fail to be a pacifist.
What I value in life is quality rather then quantity.
