The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.

The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man; whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.

One is not born a woman, but becomes one.

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.

Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.

If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.
