“I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.”

A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons; your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.

I do not often laugh, sir, as you may perceive by the air of my countenance; but nevertheless, I retain the privilege of laughing when I please.

In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.

Business? It’s quite simple; it’s other people’s money.

I’m sure you’re very nice, but you’d be even nicer if you went away.

True love always makes a man better, no matter who the woman is that inspires it.

Remember that what has once been done may be done again.

For there are two distinct sorts of ideas: Those that proceed from the head and those that emanate from the heart.

Wait and hope!

Women are never so strong as after their defeat.

Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.

It was like the eve of a battle; the hearts beat, the eyes laughed, and they felft that the life they were perhaps going to lose, was after all, a good thing.

God is always the last resource.

True, I have raped history, but it has produced some beautiful offspring.

If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.

And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude… I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.

O tyrant love, when held by you, We may to prudence bid adieu.

If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.

I can’t remember all the times I’ve tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass

I can’t wait to have kids; I just can’t wait to hold a baby in my arms.

Everything that’s coming into your life, you are attracting into your life. And it’s attracted to you by virtue of the images you’re holding in your mind. It’s what you’re thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you!

I have said more than once, that I hold space to be something purely relative, as time; an order of coexistences, as time is an order of successions.

I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is in fact in nature.

You want to embrace, but I can’t figure out how to hold on to it.
