To acknowledge the presence of fear is to give birth to failure.

Every time one leaves anywhere, something precious, which ought not to be killed, is left to die.

I am going to enjoy life in Paris I know. It is so human and there is something noble in the city... It is a real city, old and fine and life plays in it for everybody to see.

I think I hate snow, downright hate it. There is something stupefying in it, a kind of 'You must be worse before you're better,' and down it spins.

... I'd always rather be with people who loved me too little rather than with people who loved me too much.

Life never become a habit to me. It's always a marvel.

If you wish to live, you must first attend your own funeral.
