Faith is necessary to men; woe to him who believes in nothing!

Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth$$$ and truth in the darkness of the mind.

If you wish to understand what Revolution is$$$ call it Progress; and if you wish to understand what Progress is$$$ call it Tomorrow.

Not seeing people permits us to imagine them with every perfection.

The future has several names. For the weak$$$ it is impossible; for the fainthearted$$$ it is unknown; but for the valiant$$$ it is ideal.

There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.

Sometimes$$$ I feel discriminated against$$$ but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.

I'd rather be alone than unhappy.

A man's heart is a wretched$$$ wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.
