The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

The more I see of the Swedes, the more I am convinced that there is no kinder, simpler, and honester people in the world.

I am a man for whom the outside world exists.

It is when I am convinced about my character that I can do justice to that role.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.

I know I am at the end. I shall never get better, dear.
