Nuns and married women are equally unhappy, if in different ways.

Every man is his own worst enemy

It is a far greater happiness to obey no one than to rule the whole world.

God has neither form nor shape under which we can know Him; when he speaks of Himself in metaphors and similes, He is adapting Himself to our foolishness, our limited capacity.

There is a star above us which unites souls of the first order, though worlds and ages separate them.

Dignity is like a perfume; those who use it are scarcely conscious of it.

Ignorance is not innocence.

We grow old more through indolence, than through age.

As you know, no one over thirty years of age is afraid of tittle-tattle. I myself find it much less difficult to strangle a man than to fear him.

I love men, not because they are men, but because they are not women

It is quite as ignominious to allow oneself to be deceived as to deceive.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

A human head looks the least scary when it is attached.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people's opinions will rush in from all quarters.

Denial of one appetite sharpens the others.

No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.

The search for the right answer is the enemy of art.

We don't need to have somebody that's gonna make sure they pay for our market bills. It's like we have only one reason to love and that is for the real idea of love.

Motivation means we have an idea and we are going to carry through on that idea. We work hard at it, and we are disciplined.

Real inward devotion knows no prayer but that arising from the depths of its own feelings.
