What must human beings be, to destroy what they can never create?

Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright. Instinctively we know that the playwright knows his business.

Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive... Everything that is unattainable for us now will one day be near and clear... But we must work.

I don't like being successful; the subjects which sit in my head are annoyed and jealous of what has already been written.

Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.

One must speak about serious things seriously.

If you fear loneliness, then don't get married.
