Life itself is a strange mixture. We have to take it as it is, try to understand it, and then to better it.

Bravery ceases to be bravery at a certain point, and becomes mere foolhardiness.

Death is turning out the lamp because the dawn has appeared.

Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.

The biggest changes in a women's nature are brought by love; in man, by ambition

Life's fulfillment finds constant obstacles in its path; but those are necessary for the sake of its advance. The stream is saved from the sluggishness of its current by the perpetual opposition of the soil through which it must cut its way. The spirit of fight belongs to the genius of life.

And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well.
