“I know of only one duty, and that is to love.”
“There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.”
“Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.”
“In fact, it comes to this: nobody is capable of really thinking about anyone, even in the worst calamity. For really to think about someone means thinking about that person every minute of the day, without letting one’s thoughts be diverted by anything- by meals, by a fly that settles on one’s cheek, by household duties, or by a sudden itch somewhere. But there are always flies and itches. That’s why life is difficult to live.”
“Happiness is not everything and men have their duties. Mine is to find my mother, a homeland”
“Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.”
