“The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.”

To love beauty is to see light.

He who opens a school door, closes a prison.

Life is a flower of which love is the honey.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves — say rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

To love or have loved, that is enough.

It is nothing to die; it is frightful not to live.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
