There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.

No pleasure has any savor for me without communication.

Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.

The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.

It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
