It is much easier to be a hero than a gentleman.

I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.

Life is full of strange absurdities, which, strangely enough, do not even need to appear plausible, since they are true.

Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow.

All I'm saying is that you should show some respect for what other people see with their eyes and feel with their fingers, even though it be the exact opposite.

It is so.When YOU think so

If we have no other reality beyond the illusion, you too must not count overmuch on your reality as you feel it today, since, like that of yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow.

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.

Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.

I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.

So you say you love the poor? Name them.

Tradition is the social equivalent of personal habit.

Love is friendship set on fire. Hate is friendship burned.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

The truth is lived before it is understood. It must be fought for, tested, and appropriated. Truth is the way... Anyone will easily understand it if he just gives himself to it.

The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries, that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion.

I am attracted to myths.
