Can it be that I have overlooked something, that there is something which I have failed to understand? Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone?

If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.

When I have one foot in the grave, I will tell the whole truth about women. I shall tell it, jump into my coffin, pull the lid over me and say, "Do what you like now."

Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

... women are the pivot round which the world turns.

There is trouble with a wife, but it's even worse with a woman who is not a wife.

A leader is the wave pushed ahead by the ship.
