People like us are unhappy in this world and in the next, I guess if we made it to heaven, we'd have to help make it thunder..
A good man with a good conscience doesn't walk so fast..
Peace to the shacks! War on the palaces!.
Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children..
Government must be a transparent garment which tightly clings to the people's body..
The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world..
The strides of humanity are slow, they can only be counted in centuries..
Man is an abyss, and I turn giddy when I look down into it..
You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie..
We are always on stage, even when we are stabbed in earnest at the end..
The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom..
And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much..
Supreme power rests in the will of all or of the majority..
Only one thing abides: an infinite beauty that passes from form to form, eternally changed and revealed afresh..
Death is the most blessed dream..
I'll know how to die with courage; that is easier than living..
Love is a peculiar thing..
We have not made the Revolution, the Revolution has made us..
The stars are scattered all over the sky like shimmering tears, there must be great pain in the eye from which they trickled..
Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave..
The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday..
