I have always had a horror and detestation of poverty.

It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.

Don't let the past steal your present. This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.

I have been the victim of heartless malice.

Mankind adores its betrayers, and murders its saviors.

I like animals because they are not consciously cruel and don't betray each other.

It is inevitable, that eventually the people will demand absolute security from the state... And absolute security is absolute slavery.

A wise man distrusts his neighbor. A wiser man distrusts both his neighbor and himself. The wisest man of all distrusts his government.

Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned.

Corrupt citizens breed corrupt rulers, and it is the mob who finally decides when virtue shall die.

Giving a phenomenon a label does not explain it.

A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.

All I need is you even if I don't know if I can't have you.

Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.

A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.

I feel as though I am shelved. That I have been given the words to the story of my life, but that I have remained largely unread.

Obviously the Internet makes everything easier - you get people's addresses and so on and everything seems much more accessible.

People who stop learning become the owners of the past. People who still continue to study will be the future owners.

I think there's a necessity for some attachment to the spiritual world and, in a way, people really have to have it.

Live the beauty or your own reality.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.
