“To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there.

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so.

“Beware of those who weep with realization, for they have realized nothing.”
