Human society sustains itself by transforming nature into garbage.

The beginning, middle, and end are parodied, reversed, and hidden by modernism, but not abandoned.

I am forbidden sugar, fat, and alcohol. So hooray, I guess, for oatmeal, lemon juice, and chicken soup.

After I have said what is required by my vanity and my morality, I may find a moment for Truth.

Frivolous sorrow is folly. Frivolous enjoyment is not.

Arrogance frowns; pride smiles.

Show enough regret, and your refusal will inspire gratitude.
