"Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails ove…" — Denis Diderot

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark

Anything forced is not beautiful

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must

Wild love, is there anything you cannot force upon the human heart.

He who opens a school door, closes a prison

There are only two forces that unite men - fear and interest
