When ideas fail$$$ words come in very handy.

I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible$$$ and its activity will continue through eternity.

Everyone is born a genius$$$ but the process of living de-geniuses them.

The only way for a woman$$$ as for a man$$$ to find herself$$$ to know herself as a person$$$ is by creative work of her own.

Who dares not speak his free thought is a slave.

In literature$$$ too$$$ it is not great achievement to memorize what you have read while not formulating an opinion of your own.

Self-consciousness of the manner is the expensive substitute for simplicity.

Our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith$$$ and I don't care what it is.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
