Don't undo a brave and noble deed. Don't rob yourself of your own virtue.

My experience has been that people who die for causes have few friends in death.

..why is it that in problematic situations almost everyone resorts to axioms and societal remedies that in actuality almost nobody believes in?...ask yourself, have you ever known anyone whose marriage was saved by a marriage counselor, whose drinking was cured by a psychiatrist, whose son was kept out of reform school by a social worker?

Don't undo a brave and noble deed. Don't rob yourself of your own virtue.

If we break promises to God, shouldn't we be allowed an occasional violation of our word to our friends and superiors?

Why do I always feel like you're trying to staple my umbilical cord to the corner of your desk?

I sometimes subscribe to the belief that all historical events occur simultaneously, like a dream in the mind of God. Perhaps it is only man who views time sequentially and tries to impose a solar calendar upon it. What if other people, both dead and unborn, are living out their lives in the same space we occupy, without our knowledge or consent?" The Glass Rainbow, p. 138
