“How much does a man live, after all?/ Does he live a thousand days, or one only?For a week, or for several centuries?/ How long does a man spend dying?/ What does it mean to say 'for ever'? ”
“What's the point anyway — Of suffering, dying? It teaches us to live, boy. A man who does not struggle does not live, he survives.”
“How long does it take man to realize that he cannot want what he wants? You have to live in hell to see heaven.”
“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.”
“Man does not live by bread alone, but he certainly does not live without the bread.”
“He will live ill who does not know how to die well”
