“Oh, man! Live your own life and no longer be wretched!”

To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.

I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting, as it were, into the system of being, in identifying myself with the whole of nature..

Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: not on what you don’t want.

A man is what a woman makes him and a woman makes herself.
