"My soul is too deep for tears."

"It’s a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing."

"I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."

"I am not tragically colored."

"I love myself when I am laughing… and then again when I am looking mean and impressive."
