The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.

Live life in the fast lane but keep your eyes on the road.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

God does not play dice with the universe.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth—it is the truth which conceals that there is none.
