I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.

I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strenght, happiness & misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own

One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.

The greatest act of faith takes place when a man finally decides that he is not God.
