Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.
From Victor Hugo
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
A great artist is a great man in a great child.
To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it.
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
The ideal and the beautiful are identical; the ideal corresponds to the idea, and beauty to form; hence idea and substance are cognate.
Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.
The three great problems of this century; the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness.
