“between the famous and the infamous there is but one step, if as muchas one”

“Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.”

“Hay muchas cosas que abandonaríamos si no temiéramos que otros pudiesen recogerlas.”

“There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”

“Sucede muchas veces que las tragedias reales de la vida ocurren de una manera poco artística.”

“The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?”

“I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!”
