“The destiny of every human being is decided by what goes on inside his skull when confronted by what goes on outside his skull.”
“Inside skull vast as outside skull”
“What goes on inside isn't ever the same as what goes on outside.”
“You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.”
“It's dangerous, son." "What's dangerous?" "When a man goes outside his house to look for peace.”
“What if he could see this, his own skull, yellow and eroded? Two centuries old. Would he still speak? Would he speak, if he could see it, the grinning, aged skull? What would there be for him to say, to tell the people? What message could he bring?What action would not be futile, when a man could look upon his own aged, yellowed skull?”
