The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.

Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.

There is nothing the body suffers the soul may not profit by.

Jealousy is love bed of burning snarl.

Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

For me, a spiritual and existential crisis is the same thing in that your foundation gets rocked.

At times of distress, we all like to recall the advice of fathers and mothers. The best advice my father gave me was to keep faith and deep confidence in the potential of the Greek people; nurture the belief that they can do things.
