Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.

There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will.

Now why should that man have fainted? But he did,and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!

The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it.

It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.

We are pushed forward by the social forces, reluctant and stumbling, our faces over our shoulders, clutching at every relic of the past as we are forced along; still adoring whatever is behind us. We insist upon worshipping 'the God of our fathers.' Why not the God of our children? Does eternity only stretch one way?

Life is a verb, not a noun.
