To act is to anchor in an imminent future, so imminent it becomes almost tangible; to act is to feel you are consubstantial with that future.

We have convictions only if we have studied nothing thoroughly.

Each concession we make is accompanied by an inner diminution of which we are not immediately conscious.

To possess a high degree of consciousness, to be always aware of yourself in relation to the world, to live in the permanent tension of knowledge, means to be lost for life.

One doesn't live in a country, one lives in a language.

The true hero fights and dies in the name of his destiny, and not in the name of a belief.

One is and remains a slave as long as one is not cured of hoping.
