"one does not only wish to be understood when one writes; one wishes just as surely not to be understood."

"Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes."

"Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not."

"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage"
