Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.

Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.

Disobedience- that is the nobility of slaves.

And as long as you are in any way ashamed before yourself, you do not yet belong with us.

The shortest route is not the most direct one, but rather the one where the most favorable winds swell our sails:Mthat is the lesson that seafarers teach. Not to abide by this lesson is to be obstinate: here, firmness of character is tainted with stupidity.

Your only problem, perhaps, is that you scream without letting yourself cry.
