The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.

Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.

Genuflection before the idol or the dollar destroys the muscles which walk and the will that moves.

Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.

What is fright by night is curiosity by day.

Friend is sometimes a word devoid of meaning; enemy, never.
