I've become convinced that every person should treat himself strictly and even rudely and distrustfully; it's difficult to tame the beast in oneself.

I share no man's opinions; I have my own.

I agree with no one's opinion. I have some of my own.

We sit in the mud... and reach for the stars.

I am a flirt: I have no heart: I have an actor's nature.

I do not know what the heart of a bad man is like. But i do know what the heart of a good man is like. And it is terrible.

I'm incapable of describing the feeling with which I left. I wouldn't want it ever to be repeated, but I would have considered myself unfortunate if I'd never experienced it.
