Going home must be like going to render an account.
From Joseph Conrad
The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.
I don't like work... but I like what is in work - the chance to find yourself. Your own reality - for yourself, not for others - which no other man can ever know.
A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.
You can't, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty.
Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.
Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.
They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.
Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
