“My God! What is this country doing to me? Because it has rejected me, let us consider it coldly, let us watch it lose the honour and its life.”
“This life is not given to us as a pastime. There was a solemn purpose in our creation, in the life that God has given to us. Let us study what that purpose is, that we may progress and obtain eternal life.”

“What is the meaning of life?Life has the meaning that you give it.”
“But let's not speak of what might have been. Let us speak instead of what is. You are whole.”
