Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.

Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.

Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.

It's a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.

The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority

There is something so indescribably sweet and satisfying in the knowledge that a husband or wife has forgiven the other freely, and from the heart.

Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.
