It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.

My friends, ask gladness from God. Be glad as children, as birds in the sky. And let man's sin not disturb you in your efforts, do not feat that it will dampen your endeavor and keep it from being fulfilled, do not say, Sin is strong, impiety is strong, the bad environment is strong, and we are lonely and powerless, the bad environment will dampen us and keep our good endeavor from being fulfilled. Flee from such despondency, my children! There is only one salvation for you: take yourself up, and make yourself responsible for the sins of men.

If God does not exist, then everything is permissible.

There is no object on earth which cannot be looked at from a cosmic point of view.

Although your mind works, your heart is darkened with depravity; and without a pure heart there can be no complete and true consciousness

Never mind a little dirt, if the goal is splendid!

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
