What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn (At One Quotes)
It is at moments of need that one learns who one’s friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson (At One Quotes)
My theory about writing is that one should write books you’d like to read, but no one else has written yet. So, as long as I stick with that, I’m entertaining myself, and then hopefully my readers as well. I hope to God I realize that I’m repeating myself, if I ever do. But if I don’t, I’m sure my readers will let me know (At One Quotes)

I am not only convinced that what I say is false, but also that what one might say against it is false. Despite this, one must begin to talk about it. In such a case the truth lies not in the middle, but rather all around, like a sack, which, with each new opinion one stuffs into it, changes its form, and becomes more and more firm (At One Quotes)
It may be from some moral obliquity in myself, or from some strange disease; but for me, and I should think too for every human being in whose breast a human heart is beating, to know that one single creature is in that dreadful place would make a hell of heaven itself. And they have hearts in heaven, for they love there (At One Quotes)
A garden that one makes oneself becomes associated with one’s personal history and that of one’s friends, interwoven with one’s tastes, preferences and character and constitutes a sort of unwritten autobiography (At One Quotes)
The first and most practical step in getting what one wants in this world is wanting it. One would think that the next step would be expressing what one wants. But it almost never is. It generally consists in wanting it still harder (At One Quotes)
I think through living one’s life, one both changes and remains the same. One can see it either way, one can see oneself as being now what one was and one can see oneself as being absolutely different from what one was. It’s a trick of thought (At One Quotes)
The sheer volumes of songs have come from the hours of cold and darkness that one spends inside with the lights on (At One Quotes)
Solitude and quiet are highly desirable, but the lack of them is no barrier to writing... The will to work builds all the seclusion that one needs (At One Quotes)
Seeing architecture differently from the way you see the rest of life is a bit weird. I believe one should be consistent in all that one does, from the books you read to the way you bring up your children. Everything you do is connected (At One Quotes)

The essence of good manners consists in making it clear that one has no wish to hurt. When it is clearly necessary to hurt, it must be done in such a way as to make it evident that the necessity is felt to be regrettable (At One Quotes)
Yes! live life with every fibre of one’s being, surrender oneself to it, with no thoughts of rebellion, without deluding oneself that one can improve it and render it painless (At One Quotes)
It is not necessary that one should humble oneself to deserve assistance, it is sufficient that one should suffer (At One Quotes)
Defaced ruins of architecture and statuary, like the wrinkles of decrepitude of a once beautiful woman, only make one regret that one did not see them when they were enchanting (At One Quotes)
