“There is a certain dignity in going through life without the promise of Heaven or the threat of Hell.”
“It is the rub that polishes the jewel,” Enso Roshi says. “Nobody ever gets to nirvana without going through samsara. Nobody ever gets to heaven, without going through hell. The center of all things, the truth, is surrounded by demons.”
“Sometimes to get to heaven you need to go through hell.”
“I had to go through hell to get a piece of heaven?”
“Sometimes you've got to go through hell to get to heaven.”
“Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!One thing at least is certain - This Life flies;One thing is certain and the rest is Lies -The Flower that once has blown forever dies.”
