The Pit Of A Theatre

Only Passions, And Great Passions, Can Raise The Soul To Great Things. Without Them There Is No Sublimity, Either In Morals Or In Creativity. Art Returns To Infancy, And Virtue Becomes Small-minded.

I Have Not The Hope Of Being Immortal, Because The Desire Of It Has Not Given Me That Vanity.

Oh! How Near Are Genius And Madness! Men Imprison Them And Chain Them, Or Raise Statues To Them.

Isn't It Better To Have Men Being Ungrateful Than To Miss A Chance To Do Good?

I Can Be Expected To Look For Truth But Not To Find It.
