Some people do not become thinkers simply because their memories are too good.

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their ownideal, to express it more agreeably).

Alas! There cometh the time when man will no longer give birth to any star. Alas! There cometh the time of the most despicable man, who can no longer despise himself.

I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
