“「The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.」”

“「Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.」”

“「I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze.」”

“「Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.」”

“「Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.」”
