“He who jokes in the executioners face can be destroyed, but never defeated.”

“Mystery is the face everybody shared before they were born and the joke they'll finally get after they're dead.”

“…not a fighter…an adventurer. He doesn’t attack, he engages;He doesn’t defend, he expands;He doesn’t destroy, he transforms;He doesn’t reject, he explores; ….”

“In the end, perhaps we should simply imagine a joke; a long joke that's continually retold in an accent too thick and strange to ever be completely understood. Life is that joke my friends. The soul is the punch line.”

“We seem to face an enemy who, no matter how many times we win, will best us in the end. He has so many allies: time, disease, boredom, stupidity, religious quackery, and bad habits.”

“But man by his nature is an unnatural animal. If any creature stands a chance of defeating death, it is man.”

“People are never perfect, but love can be. ”
