The most important truths are likely to be those which society at that time least wants to hear.

No hero is mortal till he dies.

We must love one another or die

Even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot Where the dogs go on with their doggy life

All wishes, whatever their apparent content, have the same and unvarying meaning: "I refuse to be what I am."

In the end, art is small beer. The really serious things are earning one's living so as not to be a parasite and loving one's neighbor.

Music is the best means we have of digesting time.
