Solitude vivifies isolation kills

Science is for those who learn poetry, for those who know

A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.

We love justice greatly, and just men but little

In youth one has tears without grief in age, griefs without tears

The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable

Literature was formerly an art and finance a trade; today it is the reverse

What is experience? A poor little hut constructed from the ruins of the palace of gold and marble called our illusions

Our experience is composed rathery of illusions that of wisdom acquired

Evil often triumphs, but never conquers
