To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
The truth is lived, not taught.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.
To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.
It is not our purpose to become each other it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.
Happiness is a how not a what. A talent, not an object.
