"Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent."
"When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?"
"Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends."
"Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others."
