And now listen carefully. You in others-this is your soul. This is what you are. This is what your consciousness has breathed and lived on and enjoyed throughout your life-your soul, your immortality, your life in others. And what now? You have always been in others and you will remain in others. And what does it matter to you if later on that is called your memory? This will be you-the you that enters the future and becomes a part of it.

They don't ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise.

Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs.

An unshared happiness is not happiness.

Only the solitary seek the truth, and they break with all those who don't love it sufficiently

Immensely grateful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.

In every generation there has to be some fool who will speak the truth as he sees it.
