In the knowledge of truth, what really matters is the possession of it, not the impulse under which it was sought.

I hate who steals my solitude, without really offer me in exchange company.

The Hour-Hand of Life --- Life consists of rare, isolated moments of the greatest significance, and of innumerably many intervals, during which at best the silhouettes of those moments hover about us. Love, springtime, every beautiful melody, mountains, the moon, the sea - all these speak completely to the heart but once, if in fact they ever do get a chance to speak completely. For many men do not have those moments at all, and are themselves intervals and intermissions in the symphony of real life.

He who speaks a bit of a foreign language has more delight in it than he who speaks it well; pleasure goes along with superficial knowledge.

The great works are produced in such an ecstasy of love that they must always be unworthy of it, however great their worth otherwise.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

There are two different types of people in the world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe.
