The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.

A smile is the same as sunshine; it banishes winter from the human countenance.

Between the government which does evil and the people who accept it – there is a certain shameful solidarity.

The learned man knows that he is ignorant.

A criminal remains a criminal whether he uses a convict’s suit or a monarch’s crown.

Remember your end and stop hating.

Fire lives in the death of earth, air lives in the death of fire, water lives in the death of air, and earth in the death of water.

I don’t want to just die a normal death, I wanna be killed twice.

I am not afraid to die because I know that when we go, we will go together. It is living without you that would be unbearable.

What I wanted to express very clearly and intensely was that the reason these people had to invent or imagine heroes and gods is pure fear. Fear of life and fear of death.
