Great passions are incurable diseases.

I hate everything that merely instructs me without augmenting or directly invigorating my activity.

I was oppressed with the sensations I then felt; I sunk under the weight of them.

I have learned much from disease which life could have never taught me anywhere else.

None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.

The highest cannot be spoken; it can only be acted.

Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
