Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance.
Virtue, though clothed in a beggar's garb, commands respect.
The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.
I am better than my reputation
Love can sun the realms of night.
Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.
