Pity those whom nature abuses; 

never those who abuse nature.

Human morality is unthinkable without empathy.

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Think for yourself and question authority.

The self is not something ready-made, 

but something in continuous formation 

through choice of action.

Wherever anything lives, 

there is, 

open somewhere, 

a register in which time is being inscribed.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, 

and his punishment is that he sees the dawn 

before the rest of the world.

To be nobody but yourself 

in a world which is doing its best, 

night and day, 

to make you everybody else 

means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; 

and never stop fighting.

The joy of life consists in 

the exercise of one's energies, 

continual growth, 

constant change, 

the enjoyment of every new experience.

I think it is the responsibility of a citizen of any country to say what he thinks.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

The opposite of a fact is falsehood, 

but the opposite of one profound truth 

may very well be 

another profound truth.

The world does not speak. 

Only we do.

There is always one moment in childhood 

when the door opens 

and lets the future in.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
