He was a boy, just a boy, when I was a very young girl. When I was sixteen, I made the discovery - love. All at once and much, much too completely. It was like you suddenly turned a blinding on something that had always been half in shadow, that's how it struck the world for me. But I was unlucky. Deluded.

How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.

I must endure & endure & still endure.

Show me a person who hasn´t known any sorrow and I´ll show you a superficial.

Since that day, when people have spoken to me of "genius", I have felt the inside pocket to make sure my wallet's still there.

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.

To be free is to have achieved your life.
