In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost

It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others

We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied

One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake
