Quotes
- We are not masters of ourselves and
in our days of youthful folly
we hasten to give premature vows
the omniscient Fate shall ridicule.- Quoted in We'll Live Till Monday (1968) (Russian film)
- The mysterious power of harmony
Will expiate a heavy delusion
And tame a revolting desire.
- Just thought and thought!
Poor artist of the word!
High priest of thought!
You cannot flee;
The word holds all:
the world and man,
Death, life,
and ever-unveiled truth. (1840)
