I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best.
