All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.

The pleasures of love are always in proportion to our fears

Everything great in the world comes from neurotics. They alone have founded our religions and composed our masterpieces.

True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.

Cleverness is not wisdom

How clever are you, my dear! You never mean a single word you say!
