The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
Happiness is a monstrosity! Punished are those who seek it.
Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
Of all lies, art is the least untrue.
A friend who dies, it's something of you who dies.
The future is the worst thing about the present.
