"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly."
"Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source."
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking."
"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."
