We deceive ourselves a good deal about love. It is almost never what they say it is. - Henri Barbusse

Ah, there are cloudy moments when one asks himself if men do not deserve all the disasters into which they rush! No — I recover myself — they do not deserve them. But we, instead of saying "I wish" must say "I will." And what we will, we must will to build it, with order, with method, beginning at the beginning, when once we have been as far as that beginning. We must not only open our eyes, but our arms, our wings.

Let everything be remade on simple lines. There is only one people, there is only one people!

Truth is simple. They who say that truth is complicated deceive themselves, and the truth is not in them.
