You can choose to be free , but it's last decision you'll ever make

The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveler.

The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road. It must catch fire if you want to go further.

The whole visible world is perhaps nothing more than the rationalization of a man who wants to find peace for a moment.

Work as joy, inaccessible to the psychologists.

I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man.

I can love only what I can place so high above me that I cannot reach it.
