“If a man has committed wrong in life, I don't know any moralist more anxious to point his errors out to the world than his own relations...”

“They tell us that Suicide is the greatest piece of Cowardice... That Suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in this world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.”

“It is better to grope in the dark and wade through a million errors to reach the Truth than to entrust oneself to someone who knows not that he knows not. Has a man ever learnt swimming by tying a stone to his neck? So let me go my own way even if it is the wrong one.”

“Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts”

“There is no error more absurd, and yet more rooted in the heart of man, than the belief that his sufferings will promote his spiritual safety.”

“No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.”
