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

Only after I've seen the visible can I imagine what the invisible is.

What is truth? What is falsehood? Whatever gives wings to men, whatever produces great works and great souls and lifts up a man's height above the earth - that's true. Whatever clips off man's wings - that's false.

We are not men, to have need of another, an eternal life; we are women, and for us one moment with man we love is everlasting Paradise, one moment far from the man we love is everlasting hell. It is here on earth that we women love out eternity

Overdraw me, Lord, and who cares if I break.

Every man has his folly, but the greatest folly of all … is not to have one.

Life on earth means: the sprouting of wings.
