If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
And what if I did run my ship aground; oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.
