"What did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination? These questions continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them."
"Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude."
"Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity and ruin."
"The present is a fleeting moment, the past is no more, and the future is not yet."
