The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.

Sometimes I would almost rather have people take years of my life than take away a moment.

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

Fate carries its own clock.

To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil.

I never ask myself how I do what I do. After all, how does it rain?

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

I see their souls, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing.

There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.

You can taste a word.

The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that.

The deed of love is stronger than words

There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you if you don't repeat it.

I discuss humanity and not races.

Sometimes you think the whole world is falling, and it's only yourself that's leaning.

A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.

I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I am, he isn't.

You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.

Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.
