Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.

Even a genius cannot completely resist his Zeitgeist, the spirit of his time.

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.

All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
