“Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.”
“Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.”
“Man reading ought to be a man intensely alive. The book ought to be a ball of light in his hands. ”
“Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.”
