Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire: not too near, lest he burn; nor too far off, lest he freeze.

The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there… and still on your feet.

The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.

I smoke all the time, one after the other.

Art is not living. It is the use of living.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

We have not the time to take our time.
