On our earth we can only love withsuffering and through suffering.

But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.

One must love life before loving its meaning ... yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.

Don’t be overwise; fling yourself straight into life, without deliberation; don’t be afraid - the flood will bear you to the bank and set you safe on your feet again.

Intelligence alone is not nearly enough when it comes to acting wisely.

One can fall in love and still hate.

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
