I have finally learned that I must remain silent as much as possible. I must always keep my thoughts to myself.

If there was no death, everyone would wish for it.

I have finally learned that I must remain silent as much as possible. I must always keep my thoughts to myself.

I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.

My one fear is that tomorrow I may die without having come to know myself.

[Death is] the best asylum for pains and sorrows and troubles and the injustices of life.

The sign of our time is that the dignity of the human personality has no place: the age is, as are its laws, impersonal, its heart as of stone... . Yet on arrest, in the name of these laws, we die like dogs, neither executioner nor victim making a sound. Because he has to gasp for air all his life, panting for breath is the man of today's only way out.
