You can know all there is to know about life and mankind, but what do you really know about yourself?

Posterity has never made the grave's embrace less cruel. It simply assuages our fear of death, because there is no better cure for out inevitable morality then the illusion of a beautiful eternity. But there is one illusion I still hold dear: that is the thought of an enlightened nation. That is the only future I still dream of.

There's nothing, absolutely nothing, more important than your life. And your life isn't more important than other people's lives.

We've already been killed, all of us. It happened so long ago, we've forgotten it.

Of course, I'm aware of the animosities destroying brain cells on both sides, and I know all about the obstinacy of the warring parties, their refusal to reach an agreement, their devotion to their own murderous hatred.

Get a grip on yourself. there's only one god here on earth, and that's you. If you don't like the world, make one you like better.
