I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

I shall need to sleep three weeks on end to get rested from the rest I've had.

Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.

One must die to life in order to be utterly a creator.

For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.

But my deepest and most secret love belongs to the fair-haired and the blue-eyed, the bright children of life, the happy, the charming and the ordinary.
