“no one should be allowed to stop in one place any longer than necessary. A man isn’t a tree, and being settled in one place is his misfortune. It saps his courage, breaks his confidence. When a man settles down somewhere, he agrees to any and all of its conditions, even the disagreeable ones, and frightens himself with the uncertainty that awaits him. Change to him seems like abandonment, like a loss of an investment: someone else will occupy his domain, and he’ll have to begin again. Digging oneself in marks the real beginning of old age, because a man is young as long as he isn’t afraid to make new beginnings. If he stays in the same place, he has to put up with things, or take action. If he moves on, he keeps his freedom; he’s ready to change places and the conditions imposed on him.”

“The Japanese say we have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends and family. The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are.—Unknown”

“My dear boy, no woman is a genius. Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.”

“Svakome bi trebalo odrediti da putuje s vremena na vrijeme. Čak i više: da nikada ne zastane duže nego što je neophodno. Čovjek nije stablo, vezanost je njegova nesreća, oduzima mu hrabrost, umanjuje sigurnost. Vežući se za jedno mjesto,čovjek prihvaća sve uvjete, čak i nepovoljne, i sam sebe plaši neizvjesnošću koja ga čeka. Promjena mu liči na napuštanje, na gubitak uloženog, netko drugi će zaposjesti njegov osvojeni prostor, i on će počinjati iznova. Ukopavanje je prvi početak starenja, jer je čovjek mlad sve dok se ne boji da započinje.
Ostajući, čovjek trpi ili napada.
Odlazeći čuva slobodu.”
