Nature is honest, we aren't; we embalm our dead.

Killing time is the chief end of our society.

Sisterly love is, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions.

I think the family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.

To believe in God is to know that all the rules will be fair, and that there will be wonderful surprises.

There is no forgiveness in nature.

Nature is honest, we aren't; we embalm our dead.
