Writers build castles in the air, the reader lives inside, and the publisher inns the rent.

The most beautiful words in the English language are 'not guilty'.

What can you do by killing? Nothing. You kill one dog, the master buys another-that's all there is to it.

This fear is what is the ruin of us all. And some dominate us; they take advantage of our fear and frighten us still more. Mark this: as long as people are afraid, they will rot like the birches in the marsh. We must grow bold; it is time!

The higher goal a person pursues, the quicker his ability develops, and the more beneficial he will become to the society. I believe for sure that this is also a truth.

To speak the truth is the most difficult of all arts, for in its "pure" form, not connected with the interests of individuals, groups, classes, or nations, truth is almost completely unsuitable for use by the Philistine and is unacceptable to him.

Everything which is good in me should be credited to books.
