Taste has never been corrupted by simplicity.
We live in an age in which superfluous ideas abound and essential ideas are lacking.
We are all of us more or less echoes, repeating involuntarily the virtues, the defects, the movements, and the characters of those among whom we live.
Our worries always come from our weaknesses.
The essence of life consists in thinking, and being conscious of one's soul.
Imagination is the eye of the soul.
