The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated in a contemporary antagonism known as the generation gap.

My life didn't please me, so I created my life.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

True spirituality has its basis in moral life, which in turn is based on contem-plation.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Maybe this world is another planet?s hell.

It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

Nature is not human-hearted.

First, then, God, being all-just, wishes to do justice; being all-wise, knows what justice is; being all-powerful, can do justice. Why then injustice?

A tragedy means always a man's struggle with that which is stronger than man.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

Don't cry for a man who's left you - the next one may fall for your smile.
