"Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities."
"... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge."
"Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it."
"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."
