“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.”

“I know the feelings of my heart, and I know men. I am not made like any of those I have seen; I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different. Whether Nature has acted rightly or wrongly in destroying the mould in which she cast me, can only be decided after I have been read.”

“كتبت إليكِ كثيراً ، فلم تكتبي إليّ كثيراً ولا قليلاًَ ؛ لأنكِ تعتقدين ما يعتقده كثيرٌ من النساء من أن المرأة التي تكتب إلى حبيبها كتاب حب : آثمة أو غير شريفة ؛ أما انا فأعتقد أنها إن لم تفعل فهي مرائية مصانعة ، لأن المرأة التي وهبت قلبها هبة خالصة لا يخالطها شك وريبة ، لا ترى مانعاً يمنعها من أن تكتب لحبيبها في غيبته بمثل ما تحدثه به في حضرته .”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
