Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

We are not on the way to greater individualism, but are becoming an increasingly manipulated mass civilization.

Death is never sweet, not even if it is suffered for the highest ideal.
