If
there is no God, everything is
permitted.
***
"You know, I don't understand
how you can pass by a
tree and not
be happy to see it? To talk
to someone and not be happy to
love them! Oh, I just can't
express it... and how many
beautiful things are there
at every turn, things that even
the most lost person finds
beautiful? Look at a child, look
at God's dawn, look at the grass
as it grows, look into eyes that
look at you and love you..."

At first, art imitates life. Then life imitates
art. Then life will find its very existence from the arts. |

Power is given only to those who dare to lower
themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to
dare!

One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like
a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he
is a good man. |

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them,
but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death. |

The greatest happiness is to
know the
source of unhappiness.
*

"Man is unhappy because he
doesn't know he's happy. It's
only that. That's all, that's
all! If anyone finds out he'll
become happy at once, that
minute... Man is fond of
counting his troubles, but he
does not count his joys. If he
counted them up as he ought to,
he would see that every lot has
enough happiness provided for
it."

To
live without hope is to cease to
live.

It's the great mystery of human life that old
grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy. |
