A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.

The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.

The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.

It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.

It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.

What I possess, seems far away to me, and what is gone becomes reality.

Of the truly creative no one is ever master; it must be left to go its own way.
