Intellectual generalities are always interesting, but generalities in morals mean absolutely nothing.
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
What consoles one nowadays is not repentance but pleasure. Repentance is quite out of date.
One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.
But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
