“Life is a dark chain of events.”

“Some cannot loosen their own chains and can nonetheless redeem their friends.”

“Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.”

“Plus d'un qui n'a pu liberer ses propres chaines a su pourtant en liberer son ami.”

“I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”

“To be sure, I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but (s)he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”

“Light for some time to come will have to be called darkness.”
