Everything that I bear within me bound, is to be found somewhere else free.

God has given a great deal to man, but man would like something from man.

I believe that the soul consists of its sufferings. For the soul that cures its own sufferings dies.

Without this ridiculous vanity that takes the form of self-display, and is part of everything and everyone, we would see nothing, and nothing would exist.

He who holds me by a thread is not strong; the thread is strong.

I have come one step away from everything. And here I stay, far from everything, one step away.

Situated in some nebulous distance I do what I do so that the universal balance of which I am a part may remain a balance.
