“There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.”

“The thing about new things is you feel new when you buy them, you feel as though you are somebody different because you own something different. We are our possessions, you know. There are people who get addicted to buying new stuff. Things. Piles and piles of things. But the new things become old things so quickly. We need new things to replace the old things.”

“The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born”

“The noble man wants to create something new and a new virtue. The good want the old, and that old should be preserved.”

“It doesn’t matter how old I get, but as long as I continue to live I’ll always discover something new about myself.”

“A man who has at length found something to do will not need to get a new suit to do it in. If there is not a new man, how can the new clothes be made to fit? All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be. Perhaps we should never procure a new suit until we have so conducted that we feel like new men in the old.”
