Stupidity lies in wanting to draw conclusions.

The most important thing in the world is to hold your soul aloft.

Everyone, either from modesty or egotism, hides away the best and most delicate of his soul’s possessions; to gain the esteem of others, we must only ever show our ugliest sides; this is how we keep ourselves on the common level

It is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return.

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.

Stupidity is an immovable object: you can't try to attack it wiithout being broken by it.
