“I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.”

Life is the farce we are all forced to endure.

The wolf howled under the leaves And spit out the prettiest feathers Of his meal of fowl: Like him I consume myself.

Weakness or strength: you exist, that is strength. You don’t know where you are going or why you are going, go in everywhere, answer everyone. No one will kill you, any more than if you were a corpse.

I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.

Eternity. It is the sea mingled with the sun.

Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.

Yet this is the watch by night. Let us all accept new strength, and real tenderness. And at dawn, armed with glowing patience, we will enter the cities of glory.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

I don’t believe in soulmates. I believe that life pulls you towards people who blend, with different shades of you, as you evolve.

The more you believe in yourself, the happier you feel after.  

Notice patterns & believe them.

The worst thing is believing that you are alone in your journey when you are not.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.
