I was born, so that the whole world could be a spectatorOf my triumph or my doom.

Of two friends, one is always the slave of the other, although frequently neither acknowledges the fact to himself.

We survive on novelty, so much less demanding than commitment.

And I, as I lived, in an alien landWill die a slave and an orphan.

I was ready to love the whole world, but no one understood me, and I learned to hate.

Happy people are ignoramuses and glory is nothing else but success, and to achieve it one only has to be cunning.

Women love only those whom they do not know!
