Isolation is a way to know ourselves.
Anyone who renounces the world must love all men, for he renounces their world too. He thus begins to have some inkling of the true nature of man, which cannot but be loved, always assuming that one is its peer.
He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.
Always first draw fresh breath after outbursts of vanity and complacency.
Love is, that you are the knife which I plunge into myself.
I am a cage, in search of a bird.
