It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes.

On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

Another quote from 1943

I doubt whether any of these people, with their academic or dogmatic hatred of war, detest it as much as I do. They probably have not seen the bodies rotting on the ground and smelled the stench of decaying human flesh...What separates me from the pacifists is that I hate the Nazis more than I hate war.
