There Is Only One Duty; That Is

There Is Only One Passion, The Passion For Happiness.

All Abstract Sciences Are Nothing But The Study Of Relations Between Signs.

Those Authors Into Whose Hands Nature Has Placed A Magic Wand, With Which They No Sooner Touch Us Than We Forget The Unhappiness In Life, Than The Darkness Leaves Our Soul, And We Are Reconciled To Existence, Should Be Placed Among The Benefactors Of The Human Race.

Only Passions, Great Passions, Can Elevate The Soul To Great Things.

First Of All Move Me, Surprise Me, Rend My Heart; Make Me Tremble, Weep, Shudder; Outrage Me; Delight My Eyes Afterwards If You Can.
