One murder makes a villain; millions, a hero.

I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.

Perfect love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because it is more than one can express.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it 'maturity'.

In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
