“If there are gods, why is the world so full of pain and injustice?''Because of men like you.”

“« … why is the world so full of pain and injustice ? »« Because of men like you. »« There are no ‘men like me’. There’s only me. »”

“I know why men lose sight of the face of God: because it is so close.”

“Little world, full of scars and gashes, ripened with another's pain,Your flowers feed on carrion--so do your birds;Men feed on each other because you taught them life was cheap,Flowing from your endless womb without pain or understanding.No midwife caresses your flesh or bathes clean your progeny,Life spurts from you, little world,and you regard it with disdain.Only bruised men sense your cruelty, men whose life has lost its meaning.”

“To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils”

“Always walking along despite the dangers and adversities, despite the injustices and horrors, trusting in God so as not to despair of men and events.”
