Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare.

To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.

I am very fond of truth, but not at all of martyrdom.

It is forbidden to kill therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

To hold a pen is to be at war.

All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.

I hate women because they always know where things are.

Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors but they are seldom or ever inventors.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.
