Life is grim, and we don’t have to be grim all the time.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

To live outside the law, you must be honest.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.
