Friendship
"One can't relive one's life. Forgiveness is not what's difficult; one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious."
Forgiveness
"Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence."

"Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts."
Life
"The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who don't go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. It's always so."
