Where the light is brightest, the shadows are deepest.

The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.

The world only goes forward because of those who oppose it.

Man's restlessness makes him strive.

Before you can do something, you must first be something.

Is this the destiny of man? Is he only happy before he has acquired his reason or after he has lost it?

The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
