Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.

I believe, I desire, that social and economic ills may be remedied.

If you begin by saying, 'Thou shalt not lie,' there is no longer any possibility of political action.

What never vary are the necessities of being in the world, of having to labor and to die there.

I clung to nothing, in a way I was calm. But it was a horrible calm—because of my body; my body, I saw with its eyes, I heard with its ears, but it was no longer me; it sweated and trembled by itself and I didn’t recognize it any more.

The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.

Death is a continuation of my life without me.
