Please do not understand me too quickly.

A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.

The most decisive actions of our life - I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future - are, more often than not, unconsidered.

The wise man is he who constantly wonders afresh.

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

The reasons that drive me to write are many and the most important are the most secret, I think. Perhaps most of all this: to put something out of death's reach.

What seems different in yourself; that's the rare thing you possess. The one thing that gives each of us his worth, and that's just what we try to suppress. And we claim to love life.
