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.

To be sure, theory is useful. But without warmth of heart and without love it bruises the very ones it claims to save.

The only real education comes from what goes counter to you.

Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason.

What I dislike least in my former self are the moments of prayer.

Nothing blocks happiness like happiness remembered.

Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.
