“To live is to war with trolls.”
“You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.”
“Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.”
“It’s a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.”
“One’s life is a heavy price to pay for being born.”
“There is so much falsehood both at home and at school. At home one must not speak, and at school we have to stand and tell lies to the children.”
“The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population – the intelligent ones or the fools?.. I don’t imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.”
