No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

Respect is one of life’s greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don’t have that?

We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary.

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
