"True happiness is impossible without solitude. The fallen angel probably betrayed God because he longed for solitude, which angels do not know."
"No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith."

It is there that we authors do most of our lying . . . one must ruthlessly suppress everything that is not concerned with the subject.
