When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself "Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!"

The happiest is he who suffers the least pain; the most miserable, he who enjoys the least pleasure.

I felt before I thought

The universe was born restless and has never since been still.

It is not the criminal things which are hardest to confess, but the ridiculous and shameful.

It is not I that am drawing, it is this thing at the end of my hand.

The severity of penalties is only a vain resource, invented by little minds in order to substitute terror for that respect which they have no means of obtaining.
