Men of action, above all those whose actions are guided by love, live forever.

Others go to bed with their mistresses; I with my ideas.

We light the oven so that everyone may bake bread in it.

But love, like the sun that it is, sets afire and melts everything. what greed and privilege to build up over whole centuries the indignation of a pious spirit, with its natural following of oppressed souls, will cast down with a single shove.

Men have no special right because they belong to one race or another: the word man defines all rights.

Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity.

Our wine is bitter, but it is our wine.
