It is not peace that I seek, but life.

The more a man lives, the more a man creates, the more a man loves and loses those whom he loves, the more does he escape from death. With every new blow that we have to bear, with every new work that we round and finish, we escape from ourselves, we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.

Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.
