Let us blame none, let us blame our own Karma.

The finer the instrument, the greater the power. The mind is much finer and more powerful than the body.

There is implanted in every man, naturally, a strong desire for progress.

The body is mortal and the mind is mortal; both, being compounds, must die.

Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.

I hate this world, this dream, this horrible nightmare, with its churches and chicaneries, its books and blackguardisms, its fair faces and false hearts, its howling righteousness on the surface and utter hollowness beneath and, above all, its sanctified shopkeeping!

No cowardice, no sin, no crime, no weakness - the rest will come of itself. . .
