Talent is nothing but long impatience.

The heart feels, the head compares.

Forests precede civilizations and deserts follow them.

Alexander created cities everywhere he passed: I have left dreams everywhere I have trailed my life.

We must not always try to plumb the depths of the human heart; the truths it contains are among those that are best seen in half-light or in perspective.

Talent is nothing but long impatience.

You are not superior just because you see the world in an odious light.
