I have always been a great dreamer; in dreams I am more active than in my real life, and these shadows sapped me of health and energy.

As every flower fades and as all youth departs, so life at every stage, so every virtue, so our grasp of truth blooms in its day and may not last forever.

In all beginnings dwells a magic force for guarding us and helping us to live.

Love is like death. It is fulfillment and an evening after which nothing more may follow.
