Only strong personalities can endure history, the weak are extinguished by it.

We labour at our daily work more ardently and thoughtlessly than is necessary to sustain our life because it is even more necessary not to have leisure to stop and think. Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.

Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.

One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.

And let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance once! And let that wisdom be false to us that brought no laughter with it!

I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.

When we think of all the things we want to do with our other half the answer should be simple; we should want to do absolutely everything with them. We should want to experience everything, feel everything, see everything with no one but them by our sides. When we look back on our lives it's not the things we did do with them that we'll regret, it's the things we didn't do.
