Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean sea.

I've stopped thinking all the time of what happened yesterday. And stopped asking what's going to happen tomorrow. What's happening today, this minute, is what I care about.

Time is round, and it rolls quickly.

Life's true face is the skull.

As long as there are flowers and children and birds in the world, have no fears: everything will be fine.

so few in reality are the true necessities of man

We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life.
