In every real man

a child is hidden

that wants to play.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another 

and to us; 

nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

Love is blind; 

friendship closes its eyes.

All credibility, 

all good conscience, 

all evidence of truth 

come only from the senses.

The individual has always had to struggle 

to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. 

If you try it, 

you will be lonely often, 

and sometimes frightened. 

But no price is too high to pay 

for the privilege of owning yourself.

In music 

the passions enjoy themselves.

Without music, life would be a mistake.
