"Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them."

"One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."

"Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

"Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard."
