Poetry has been the guardian angel of humanity in all ages.
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Assassination makes only martyrs, not converts.
When a dog is in your life, there is always a reason to laugh.
Every time that a people which has long crouched in slavery and ignorance is moved to its lowest depths there appear monsters and heroes, prodigies of crime and prodigies of virtue.
Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.
