Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.
The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.
The believer is happy. The doubter is wise.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
There is no beauty without some strangeness
Happiness is not to be found in knowledge, but in the acquisition of knowledge
Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.
Those who gossip with you will gossip about you.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
Invisible things are the only realities.
To observe attentively is to remember distinctly.

I have great faith in fools,— self-confidence my friends will call it.
If a poem hasn’t ripped apart your soul; you haven’t experienced poetry.
The world is a great ocean, upon which we encounter more tempestuous storms than calms.
