Who said “Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows…”?

“Let us be tried by our actions.”

“As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.”

“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

“I never "worry" about action, but only about inaction.”

“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.”

“And who is any of us, that without starvation he can go through the kingdoms of starvation?”

“So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.”

“When an individual fear or apathy passes by the unfortunate, life is of no account.”

“For support, I fall back on my heart. Has a man any fault a woman cannot weave with and try to change into something better, if the god her man prays to is a mother holding a baby?”

“The moment one accosts a stranger or is accosted by him is above all in this life the moment of drama... Whoever we meet watches us intently at the quick, strange moment of meeting, to see whether we are disposed to be friendly.”

“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
