Each day the worst of our faults, our deficiencies, our crimes, the truth of our lives, is stifled under a triple layer of forgetfulness, death and the ordinary course of justice.

Since I love you, my loneliness begins to throw you.

Water is the one substance from which the earth can conceal nothing; it sucks out its innermost secrets and brings them to our very lips.

Everyone always dies for his country. If you have lived in it, well and wisely and actively, you die for it too.

Half the human race can change its name and sometimes its nation without suffering — at least half! All women!

Only the mediocre die always at their best. Real leaders are always improving - and raising their bar on how superbly they can perform and how quickly they can move.

Close your eyes, all you see is yours.
