A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing:

Never answer a letter while you are angry.

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannothurt you.

Eyes are more accurate witness than ears

Frustration is commonly the difference between what you would like to be and what you are willing to become what you would like to be.

A round egg can be made square according to how you cut it; words would be harsh according to how you speak them.

The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking

It is a good reader that makes a good book.

Knowingthat everything's futile but still fighting, still raging against the dying ofthe light that's what motivates me all the time ... If you hold that sense offutility in your head for too long, it can begin to eat into you. You canstill be aware of it

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Nothing is greater impediment to being on good terms with other than being ill at ease with yourself.

Pleasant words are the food of love.
