The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full.

Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.
