The future is the worst thing about the present.
It seems to me... that I have always lived! I possess memories that go back to the Pharoahs. I see myself very clearly at different ages of history, practicing different professions... My present personality is the result of my lost [past] personalities.
Success as I see it is a result, not a goal.
What is the beautiful, if not the impossible.
Doubt … is an illness that comes from knowledge and leads to madness.
And indeed, what is better than to sit by one's fireside in the evening with a book, while the wind beats against the window and the lamp is buring?
