“Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.”

I had found my religion: nothing seemed more important to me than a book. I saw the library as a temple.

There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.

As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

The consciousness that says ‘I am’ is not the consciousness that thinks.

He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.

That’s what existence means: draining one’s own self dry without the sense of thirst.

Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.

It is only in our decisions that we are important.

Like all dreamers I confuse disenchantment with truth.

In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.

One always dies too soon – or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are — your life, and nothing else.

Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.

There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.

Life is a useless passion.

Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.

Without constant activity, the threats of life will soon overwhelm the values.

So, my happiness doesn’t come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.

It was like the beginning of life and laughter. It was the real meaning of the sun.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

Never regret the things that bring you the best experience of life.

Life is too short to live to impress others. 

Life, people and customers will never give you more than you ask for. Asking is a good habit. Ask often, Ask more.

If you realize that a lot of people are fake in your life, make no time to declutter yourself.
