“Everything is true, and nothing is true!”

“A true masterpiece does not tell everything.”

“True generosity toward the future consists in giving everything to the present.”

“What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.”

“On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.”

“There is but one true philosophical problem and that is suicide.”

“Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true, and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels.”
