wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity when a thing is funny search it carefully for a hidden truth better keep yourself clean and bright you are the window through which you must see the world the man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time all great truths begin in blasphemies

Bible means what it says he is always convinced that it says what he means I'm not a teacher only a fellow traveler of whom you've asked the way I pointed ahead ahead of myself as well as you I chose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals as long as I have a want I have a reason for living satisfaction is death reading made Don Quixote a gentleman believing what he read made him mad choose Silence of all virtues for by it you hear other men's imperfections and conceal your own while we ourselves are living the graves of murdered beasts how can we expect any
