Sarah Bakewell

Hell is other people.

Life is a very narrow bridge; the important thing is to not be afraid.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

To be is to be perceived.

We must choose ourselves.

The only way to deal with the future is to function in the present.

The more we know, the more we realize we know nothing.

We are condemned to be free.

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.

There is no reality except the one contained within us.
