There are as many loves as there are hearts.

Life consists in penetrating the unknown, and fashioning our actions in accord with the new knowledge thus acquired.

Anything is better than lies and deceit!

Much unhappiness has come from things left unsaid

I have discovered nothing new; I have only perceived what I already knew.

I looked more widely around me, I studied the lives of the masses of humanity, and I saw that, not two or three, or ten, but hundreds, thousands, millions, had so understood the meaning of life that they were able both to live and to die. All these people were well acquainted with the meaning of life and death, quietly labored, endured privation and suffering, lived and died, and saw in all this, not a vain, but a good thing.

Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and all the agonies of the soul, but for all time his tormenting tragedy is, and will be, the tragedy of the bedroom.
