“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Everything’s already been said, but since nobody was listening, we have to start again.

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.

He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.

Envying another man’s happiness is madness; you wouldn’t know what to do with it if you had it.

God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.

Dare to be yourself”

— André Gide
