Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.

Life is a festival only to the wise.

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.

Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
