Our minds travel when our bodies are forced to stay at home.

If a man carefully examine his thoughts he will be surprised to find how much he lives in the future. His well-being is always ahead. Such a creature is probably immortal.

No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.

If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.

For everything you have missed you have gained something else.

The first lesson of history is that evil is good.
