Without [diversion] we would be in a state of weariness, and this weariness would spur us on to seek a more solid means of escaping from it. But diversion amuses us, and leads us unconsciously to death.

Look for the truth, it wants to be found.

Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.

We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us; we shall die alone.

All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.

Men blaspheme what they do not know.

From whence comes it that a cripple in body does not irritate us, and that a crippled mind enrages us? It is because a cripple sees that we go right, and a distorted mind says that it is we who go astray. But for that we should have more pity and less rage.
