Nothing is born of nothing, least of all knowledge, modernity, or enlightened thought; progress is made in tiny surges, in successive laps, like an endless relay race. But there are links without which nothing would be passed on, and for that reason, they deserve the gratitude of all who benefited from them.

life is not so long that one can grow tired of it

All pleasures must be paid for, do not despise those that state their price.

Let your tears roll tonight, but tomorrow you will start the battle again. What defeats us, always, is just our own sorrow.

I come from no country, from no city, no tribe. I am the son of the road... all tongues and all prayers belong to me. But I belong to none of them.

We are not just visitors on this planet, it belongs to us just as we belong to her, its past is ours, so is its future.

Life is like a fire. Flames which the passer-by forgets. Ashes which the wind scatters. A man lived.
