Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.

But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.

Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.

Morality is the weakness of the mind.

Misfortune was my god.

Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.
