They have this social justification for every nasty thing they do!

People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.

Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.

On our earth we can only love withsuffering and through suffering.

Generally speaking, our prisoners were capable of loving animals, and if they had been allowed they would have delighted to rear large numbers of domestic animals and birds in the prison. And I wonder what other activity could better have softened and refined their harsh and brutal natures than this. But it was not allowed. Neither the regulations nor the nature of the prison made it possible.

Intelligence alone is not nearly enough when it comes to acting wisely.

The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
