Remain true to yourself, child. If you know your own heart, you will always have one friend who does not lie. When you read a book, you hold another's mind in your hands. When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance. Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. Life is like a prism. What you see depends on how you turn the glass. And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
