"And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful."

"Without knowledge of what I am and why I am here, it is impossible to live, and since I cannot know that, I cannot live either.

"He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul."

"Love those you hate you."

"I'm like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he's cold, and his clothes are torn, and he's ashamed, but he's not unhappy."

"They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life."

"And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful."

"Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed."

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

"I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."

"I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."

"Ah, if everyone was as sensitive as you! There's no girl who hasn't gone through that. And it's all so unimportant!"

"And where love ends, hate begins"

"To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools."

"Love those you hate you."

"If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace."
