The Most Extraordinary Discoveries Are Made When

No Single Man Makes History. History Cannot Be Seen, Just As One Cannot See Grass Growing. Wars And Revolutions, Kings And Robespierres, Are History's Organic Agents, Its Yeast. But Revolutions Are Made By Fanatical Men Of Action With One-track Mind, Geniuses In Their Ability To Confine Themselves To A Limited Field. They Overturn The Old Order In A Few Hours Or Days, The Whole Upheaval Takes A Few Weeks Or At Most Years, But The Fanatical Spirit That Inspired The Upheavals Is Worshiped For Decades Thereafter, For Centuries.

In Life It Is More Necessary To Lose Than To Gain. A Seed Will Only Germinate If It Dies.

To Be A Woman Is A Great Adventure; To Drive Men Mad Is A Heroic Thing.

Salvation Lies Not In The Faithfulness To Forms, But In The Liberation From Them.

Art Is Interested In Life At The Moment When The Ray Of Power Is Passing Through It.
