These, then, are the two points I wanted to make. First, that human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it. Secondly, that they do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature; they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.

No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.

Above all else , the devil can not stand to be mocked.

Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.

That world is ended, as if it had never been. Let the race of Adam and Eve take warning.

I'm not sure God wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to love, and be loved. But we are like children, thinking our toys will make us happy and the whole world is our nursery. Something must drive us out of that nursery and into the lives of others, and that something is suffering.

I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
