“In such times, if you want neither to lie nor to wound, you are reduced to being silent.”

“We want a society with neither castes nor ranks and you must not allow these ideas to grow within you!”

“Difficult and easy-going, pleasant and churlish, you are at the same time: I can neither live with you nor without you.”
Difficilis facilis iucundus acerbus es idem: Nec possum tecum vivere nec sine te.

“What's Rome to me, what business have I there?
I who can neither lie, nor falsely swear?
Nor praise my patron's undeserving rhymes,
Nor yet comply with him, nor with his times?”

“I’m neither your friend nor your frenemy, unless you have what I want.”

“At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right”

“You do not have to sit outside in the dark. If, however, you want to look at the stars, you will find that darkness is necessary. But the stars neither require nor demand it.”

“Believing the lie that time will heal all wounds is just a nice way of saying that time deadens us.”

“If you want to gain any man's good opinion, take particular care how you behave the first time you are in company with him; the light you appear in at first, to one who is neither inclinable to think well nor ill of you, will strongly prejudice him either for or against you.”

“Time neither moves nor is stationary. Time changes.”
