What doesn't hurt - is not life; what doesn't pass - is not happiness.

Forgetfulness heals everything and song is the most beautiful manner of forgetting, for in song man feels only what he loves.

Lands of great discoveries are also lands of great injustices.

There comes a time when a man finds himself in front of a dark uncrossable abyss, which he himself has spent years digging. He cannot go forward, and has no way back. Words have failed, tears won't help, and who would he call out to? He can't even remember his own name. Then the man sees that on this god's green earth there is but one true suffering: the torment of guilty conscience.

It seems to me, that if people only knew how hard it was for me to endure life, they would find it easier to forgive me for all the wrong things I’ve done and all the good things that I have failed to do. And they would still find a little compassion within them to pity me.

That wild beast which lives in man and does not dare to show itself until the barriers of law and custom have been removed, was now set free.

I do not fear invisible worlds.
