“Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed. ”

“let us thank God for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. Let us give thanks to Him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. Let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.”

“Thank God for our illusions, it gives us the rest of hope, and the rest of consolation”

“Yeah...thanks for...letting us come...”

“But let us laugh carelessly like other men. Let us be timid even among fools. Let us knot silence around our throats.For they would surely kill us.”

“We are crucified to the world, and the world must be as crucified to us. It esteems us as fools, let us esteem it as mad.”
