What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?

Everything that I have written is closely related to something that I have lived through.

What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.

And what if I did run my ship aground; oh, still it was splendid to sail it!

The old terms must be invented with new meaning and given new explanations. Liberty, equality, and fraternity are no longer what they were in the days of the late-lamented guillotine. This is what the politicians will not understand; and that is why I hate them. They want only their own special revolutions- external revolutions, political revolutions, etc. But that is only dabbling. What is really needed is a revolution of the human spirit.

The greatest victory is defeat.

To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr; he must first Will his own execution.
