Bărbatul nu-i decât un copil care a îmbătrânit. - André Gide

It seems to me that had I not known Dostoevsky or Nietzsche or Freud or X or Z, I should have thought just as I did, and that I found in them rather an authorization than an awakening. Above all, they taught me to cease doubting, to cease fearing my thoughts, and to let those thoughts lead me to those lands that were not uninhabitable because after all I found them already there.

The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.

The priest accepted me, I accepted the priest, so everything went off smoothly.
