“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want.”

Out of the ash I rise with my red hair, and I eat men like air.

Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.

I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.

The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be.

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past!
