Readiness for death is that of character, rather than of occupation. It is right living which prepares for safe or even joyous dying. - Jacques
Well-meant ignorance is a grievous calamity in high places.
O death! We thank you for the light that you will shed upon our ignorance.
To know one's self, one must go all the way to horror.
The greatest of all weaknesses is the fear of appearing weak.
The worst derangement of the spirit is to believe things because we want them to be so, not because we have seen them for what they are.
