History is a great cemetery: men, deeds, ideas are always dying as soon as they are born.

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.

Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.

Anger or revolt that does not get into the muscles remains a figment of the imagination.

To protest in the name of morality against 'excesses' or 'abuses' is an error which hints on active complicity. There are no 'abuses' or 'excesses' here, simpily an all-pervasive system.

We always come back to the same vicious circle - an extreme degree of material or intellectual poverty does away with the means of alleviating it.

it is true that nothing is gained without something being lost: everyone knows that in fulfilling oneself one necessarily sacrifices some possibilities.
