Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.
The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
To make a vow for life is to make oneself a slave.
I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.
