"My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened" — Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it

A mother who is really a mother is never free

The love we give away is the only love we keep
