“Death never comes at the right time, despite what mortals believe. Death always comes like a thief.”

“The seconds tick. They always do. The power of an entire sun cannot stop them even for a moment, and so death comes between the moments, like a thief of light in the dark.”

“Mortals have always exaggerated the difference between hate and love. Both come from the heart. You can never hate strongly unless you have loved strongly.”

“People are responsible for their actions, but not the fruits of their actions. Always do what you think is right, but don't worry if good does not always come from what you do.”

“The best art always comes unbidden.”

“There comes a time for everybody when words and reasons can become such a great weariness.”

“All ends are temporary and all life is born from death.”
