Losing An Illusion Makes You Wiser Than

You Are Not Loved When You Are Lovely, But When You Are Loved You Are Found To Be Lovely.

History Teaches Us Virtue, But Nature Never Ceases To Teachh Us Vice.

To Be Original You Must Listen To The Voice Of Your Heart Rather Than The Clamor Of The World - And Have The Courage To Teach Publicly What You Have Learned. The Source Of All Genius Is Sincerity; Men Would Be Wiser If They Were More Moral.

Because I Was Born A Slave, I Love Liberty More Than You.

Nothing Endures Except Change; Nothing Is Constant Except Death. Every Heartbeat Wounds Us, And Life Would Be An Eternal Bleeding To Death, Were It Not For Literature. It Grants Us What Nature Does Not: A Golden Time That Doesn't Rust, A Springtime That Never Wilts, Cloudless Happiness And Eternal Youth. [my Translation]
