An imbecile who has only his eyes if he's a painter, or ears if he's a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he's a poet, or even, if he's a boxer, just his muscles? On the contrary, he's at the same time a political being, constantly alive to heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world.”

“When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.”

“Have a heart that never hardens”

“Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.”

“I think every human being knows how to hate. Because if they didn't know how to hate how to hate they wouldn't know how to love.”

“The ways are two: love and want of love. That is all.”
