There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings.

Sorrow compressed my heart, and I felt I would die, and then... Well, then I woke up.

A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel.

I punish myself for my whole life, my whole life I punish.

I saw clear as daylight how strange it is that not a single person living in this mad world has had the daring to go straight for it all and send it flying to the devil! I...I wanted to have the daring...and I killed her.

I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.

There are three forces, the only three forces capable of conquering and enslaving forever the conscience of these weak rebels in the interests of their own happiness. They are: the miracle, the mystery and authority.
