When the curtain falls no one is ready

We were equals once when we lay new-born babes on our nurse's knees. We will be equal again when they tie up our jaws for the last sleep.

My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.

Wisdom never kicks at the iron walls it can't bring down.

I am always thirsting for beautiful, beautiful, beautiful music. I wish I could make it. Perhaps there isn't any music on earth like what I picture to myself.

No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted.

Without dreams and phantoms man cannot exist.
