How is the world ruled and how do wars start? Diplomats tell lies to journalists and then believe what they read

Where there is no property there is no injustice

The worst thing you can possibly do is worrying and thinking about what you could have done

Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever

The greatest pleasure I know is to do something by stealth and have it found out by accident

This is something that I cannot get over, that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character
