Departure beyond the borders of my country is for me equivalent to death.

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.

No single man makes history. History cannot be seen just as one cannot see grass growing.

All mothers are mothers of great people, and it is not their fault that life later disappoints them.

I love you wildly, insanely, infinitely.

How many things in the world deserve our loyalty? Very few indeed. I think one should be loyal to immortality, which is another word for life, a stronger word for it.

But what are pity, conscience, or fear To the brazen pair, compared With the living sorcery Of their hot embraces?
