The malevolence of men revealed itself to his mind in all of its ugliness

You must have the devil in you to succeed in the arts.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

To caress the serpent that devours us, until it has eaten away our heart.

It is ourselves alone that make our days lucky or unlucky. Away, then, with a vain prejudice, the invention of the priesthood, which has been transmitted by our ancestors to an ignorant people.

History contains little beyond a list of people who have accommodate themselves with other people's property.

Whatever you do, crush the infamous thing, and love those who love you.
