“Death twitches my ear, live he says – I am coming.”

As it spreads, the rumor gains strength.

Spare the meek, but subdue the arrogant.

The noblest motive is the public good.

Let me rage before I die.

The only hope for the doomed, is no hope at all.

No other evil we know is faster than Rumor.

No other evil we know is faster than Rumor.

A shifty, fickle object is woman, always.

Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly.

She nourishes the poison in her veins and is consumed by a secret fire.

When gods are contrary they stand by no one.

Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love.

They can because they think they can.

Fortune sides with him who dares.

No benefits can be expected from war.

Trust one who has gone through it.

I dream a dream that dreams back at me.

To get a great idea, come up with lots of them.

Freedom comes from seeing the ignorance of your critics and discovering the emptiness of their virtue.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.

I love musicals and I’m happy they are coming back because I’d love to do more.

The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him – it cannot fail.
