Believe in your strength and your vision. Learn to repeat to yourself, 'It all depends on me'.

It is with fine sentiments that bad literature is made. Descend to the bottom of the well if you wish to see the stars.

To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.

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.

Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.

A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
