No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness.

...the most dangerous shortsightedness consists in underestimating the mediocre.

Who are you to condemn another's sin? He who condemns sin becomes part of it, espouses it.

It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.

God! how is it that we fail to recognize that the mask of pleasure, stripped of all hypocrisy, is that of anguish?

Fear, true fear, is a savage frenzy. Of all the insanities of which we are capable, it is surely the cruelest. There is naught to equal its drive, and naught can survive its thrust.

What does it matter, all is grace.
