It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself-and thus make yourself indispensable.

Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.

Know thyself! A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever observes himself arrests his own development. A caterpillar who wanted to know itself well would never become a butterfly.

Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.

To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.

There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.

A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.

The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

"Therefore" is a word the poet must not know.

At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles-wrinkles that my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.

The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.

The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.

The abominable effort to take one's sins with one to paradise.

Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessors of happiness.

Not everyone can be an orphan.

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
