“The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.”

It would seem to be enough advantage to the angler that the fish has the hook in his mouth rather than the angler.”

“O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!”

“Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.”

“Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years.”

“leave me in peace, let me sleep one night at least without my pillow being wet with tears, my eyes burning and my head throbbing”

“What you have to do with your mind, when your body is miserable, is to make it think of something else.”
