Tobacco is the plant that converts thoughts into dreams.

I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls

The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.

In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.

There is a spectacle more grand than the sea; it is heaven; there is a spectacle more grand than heaven; it is the conscience.
