Happy the youth who believes that his duty is to remake the world and bring it more in accord with virtue and justice, more in accord with his own heart. Woe to whoever commences his life without lunacy.

As I watched the seagulls, I thought, That's the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it with absolute trust.

Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.

I possess no weapon but love. With that I have come to do battle. Help me!

When I encounter a sunrise, a painting, a woman, or an idea that makes my heart bound like a young calf, then I know I am standing in front of happiness.

Time is round, and it rolls quickly.

There is no harsher means of punishment, than to answer malice with kindness.
