“Thought is more than a right - it is the very breath of man. Whoever fetters thought attacks man himself. To speak, to write, to publish, are things, so far as the right is concerned, absolutely identical. They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought.”
“Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.”
“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”

“...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel" something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.”
“Peace was the third emotion. Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life.”
“And you'll always love me won't you? Yes And the rain won't make any difference? No”
