To be practical in life means to take everything seriously and nothing tragically.

Sleep does make us all equal, it seems to me, like his big brother-Death.

Oh, we do not understand death, we never understand it; creatures are only truly dead when everyone else has died who knew them.

Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.

I write of love and death. What other subjects are there?

To be ready is one thing, to be able to wait is another; but to seize the right moment is everything.

To be practical in life means to take everything seriously and nothing tragically.
