Six month ago, on my Journal, I tried to make myself look wise by quoting people I admire in my mother langage (wich is French). But most of the people here on dA speak English, so here's the translation.

"It's in those fights that personnality build itself up (or die)" Matisse

"The splendor of the words does not compensate for the drought of the heart." Sircé

"Freedom is a word fed by the human dream. There is no one to explains it, and no one to understands it." Jorge Furtado

"People always speak badly when they've nothing to say." Voltaire

"If I heated her, I wouldn't avoid her" Racine

--------------------------------------------------------------

Some new ones, cuz there's always a quote of someone brighter than you to say exactly what your trying (and fail) to.

"Si je me sens tout de même un peu d'ici, c'est qu'à force d'exister, j'en ai pris l'habitude"
"If I feel like I belong here even though, it's because, due to existing, I got used to" Ionesco

"Sans la mort, la vie serait si longue!"
"Without the Death, Life would be so long!"

"Parce que c'était lui, parce que c'était moi"
"Because it was him, beacause it was me" Montaigne

"Aime et fais ce que tu veux, ou compatis et fais ce que tu dois."
"Love and do what you want, or have compassion and do what you have to" Comte-Sponville
