To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.

When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.

Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.

Perfection is not when there is no more to add, but no more to take away.

No truth is proved, no truth achieved, by argument, and the ready-made truths men offer you are mere conveniences or drugs to make you sleep.

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.
