The goal of our life should not be to find joy in marriage, but to bring more love and truth into the world.

The hero of my tale, whom I love with all the power of my soul, whom I have tried to portray in all his beauty, who has been, is, and will be beautiful, is Truth.

Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.

Error is the force that welds men together; truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.

There is no genius where there is not simplicity.

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
