Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.
Wrinkles are engraved smiles.
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
The natural world is the greatest source of excitement. The greatest source of visual beauty. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams
Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.
Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.
The historian looks backward. In the end he also believes backward.
But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.
All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.
Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.
We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.
No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.
Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.
Not all things are to be discovered; many are better concealed.
Life is not an exact science, it is an art.
The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.
Life must be lived as play.
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.
