It is no use lying to one's self.
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
Before I write down one word, I have to have the character in my mind through and through. I must penetrate into the last wrinkle of his soul.
Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but will it, and then the game is won.
The spectacles of experience; through them you will see more clearly a second time.
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
