# Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do belive in Art for Art's sake.

# I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.

# If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

# I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our own particular path than we have yet got ourselves.

# The crime of suicide lies in its disregard for the feelings of those whom we leave behind.

# We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
