|  Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary. | | The self is hateful. | | Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world. | | Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it. | | We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting. | | Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary. | | Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them. | | As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all. | | The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice. | | Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth. |
