"The greatest journey is the journey within."

"I am a stranger in this world I inhabit."

"To know thyself is to know the universe."

"All is possible in the realm of imagination."

"The heart speaks in ways the mind cannot understand."

"I am my own contradiction."

"I am nothing. I will always be nothing. I can want to be something, but I lack the power to be it."

"To be great, one must stand with people; but to be happy, one must stand alone."

"The only truth is that there is no truth."

"I belong to a generation that lost its faith before it found anything to replace it."

"Everything is worth nothing to those who understand everything."

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity."

"I live, I exist, therefore I think about existing."

"Art is the reconstitution of things as they might be rather than as they are."

"To feel is to think without thinking."

"We are all pretending to be what we might be if we weren't ourselves."

"The worst prison is the feeling that there is no way out."

"I have the ability to feel everything and do nothing."

"The sea joins the lands it divides."

"I count my joys not by what I have, but what I don't fear to lose."

"To know yourself is to be yourself, without illusion."

"In each of us there are as many souls as there are contradictions."

"The worst evil of all is complete resignation to fate."

"I dream of a silent music and a visible silence."

"Time is a circle drawn by God."

"Success requires no explanations. Failure permits none."

"The beauty of a garden lies not in what is planted but in what remains wild."
