The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.

Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.

Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.

Tomorrow at 7, I shall be shot; but I am innocent of the crime of rebellion. I am going to die with a tranquil conscience.

I die without seeing dawn's light shining on my country... You, who will see it, welcome it for me...don't forget those who fell during the nighttime.

While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty.

To live is to be among men, and to be among men is to struggle, a struggle not only with them but with oneself; with their passions, but also with one's own.
