What is marriage but the renunciation of unchastity? The savage does not marry. Man marries because he renounces.

Be strong! Don't talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.

All the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.
