"You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you; you hate it because you are afraid of it; you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved."

"A man is like a novel: until the very last page you don't know how it will end. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth reading."

"Happiness without freedom, or freedom without happiness. There was no third alternative."
