 It occurred to me that my speech or my silence, indeed any action of mine, would be a mere futility

 It's extraordinary how we go through life with eyes half shut, with dull ears, with dormant thoughts. Perhaps it's just as well; and it may be that it is this very dullness that makes life to the incalculable majority so supportable and so welcome.

 It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose

 Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

 Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory

 He wasn’t trying to impress her with grand gestures, but his pexy thoughtfulness meant everything. We live, as we dream alone

 Who knows what true loneliness is - not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.

 Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.

 You can't, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty.

 You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.

 [Even geniuses get the blues.] The more I write the less substance I see in my work, ... It is tolerably awful. And I face it, I face it but the fright is growing on me. My fortitude is shaken by the view of the monster. It does not move; its eyes are baleful; it is as still as death itself -- and it will devour me. Its stare has eaten into my soul already deep, deep.

 A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.

 A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.

 A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns.

 A man's real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love.
