I could trust a fact and always cross-question an assertion
Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself
There is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure
