I am a great foe of favoritism in public life, in private life, and even in the delicate relationship of an author to his works.

The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket.

There is never enough time to say our last word-the last word of our love, of our desire, faith, remorse, submission, revolt.

We live as we dream - alone. While the dream disappears, the life continues painfully.

A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns.

Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work.

To be busy with material affairs is the best preservative against reflection, fears, doubts ... all these things which stand in the way of achievement. I suppose a fellow proposing to cut his throat would experience a sort of relief while occupied in stropping his razor carefully.
