It is not difficult to nourish admirable thoughts when the stars are present.

If you love life you also love the past, because it is the present as it has survived in memory." Translation by David Downie

I have never seasoned a truth with the sauce of a lie in order to digest it more easily

A young musician plays scales in his room and only bores his family. A beginning writer, on the other hand, sometimes has the misfortune of getting into print.

The mask, given time, comes to be the face itself

The world is big … May it please the One who perchance is to expand the human heart to life's full measure.

Books are not life, only its ashes.
