“To have courage for whatever comes in life
– everything lies in that”

“I've always loved the night and I'll like lying awake and thinking over everything in life, past, present and to come. Especially to come.”

“The best jokes in life, are the lies that have come out of your mouth”

“I realize now how much courage it takes to choose the life you want, whatever that might be.”

“I have the courage, I believe, to doubt everything; I have the courage, I believe, to fight with everything; but I have not the courage to know anything; not the courage to possess, to own anything. Most people complain that the world is so prosaic, that life is not like romance, where opportunities are always so favorable. I complain that life is not like romance, where one had hard-hearted parents and nixies and trolls to fight, and enchanted princesses to free. What are all such enemies taken together, compared with the pale, bloodless, tenacious, nocturnal shapes with which I fight, and to whom I give life and substance?”

“Remember that everything that is good, whatever it's origin, comes from the holy spirit.”
