Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.

The color of truth is gray.

If only we could lean over the soul we love and see as in a mirror the image we cast!

Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.

It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.

The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.

Whither should we aim if not towards God?
