"To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius."
"The truth is that life is hard and dangerous; that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it; that he who is weak must suffer; that he who demands love will be disappointed; that he who is greedy will not be fed; that he who seeks peace will find strife; that truth is only for the brave; that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone; that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die."
"A perfect God is the creation of a conceited man"
"When a woman gets the idea of justice, there's no teaching her any sense."
"A novel should be an experience and convey an emotional truth rather than arguments."
