Faith is an aptitude of the spirit. It is, in fact, a talent: you must be born with it.

The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.

One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.

To judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God.
