At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.
