“إن شرف الإنسان رجلًا أو امرأة هو الصدق؛ صدق التفكير وصدق الإحساس وصدق الأفعال. إن الإنسان الشريف هو الذي لا يعيش حياة مزدوجة؛ واحدة في العلانية وأخرى في الخفاء.”

“Symmetry is only a property of dead things. Did you ever see a tree or a mountain that was symmetrical? It’s fine for buildings, but if you ever see a symmetrical human face, you will have the impression that you ought to think it beautiful, but that in fact you find it cold. The human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry, Kyria Pelagia. Look at your face in a mirror, Signorina, and you will see that one eyebrow is a little higher than the other, that the set of the lid of your left eye is such that the eye is a fraction more open that the other. It is these things that make you both attractive and beautiful, whereas…otherwise you would be a statue. Symmetry is for God, not for us.”
