The story of mankind began in a garden and ended in revelations.
What we have to do, what at any rate it is our duty to do, is to revive the old art of Lying.
The essence of thought, as the essence of life, is growth.

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
