“Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.”

“Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary.”

“Only the one who does not know what is life may believe that it is beautiful and easy.”

“Lenin only believes in the revolution and in the virtue of expediency.'One must be prepared for every sacrifice, to use, if necessary, every stratagem, ruse, illegal method, to be determined to conceal the truth, for the sole purpose of accomplishing, despite everything, the communist task'.”

“When the time to die comes, it does not matter how and when it happens.”

“There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.”

“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.”
