“No benefits can be expected from war.”

Let us go singing as far as we go: the road will be less tedious.

Through pain I’ve learned to comfort suffering men.

Maybe one day we shall be glad to remember even these hardships.

The descent into Hell is easy.

As it spreads, the rumor gains strength.

Spare the meek, but subdue the arrogant.

The noblest motive is the public good.

Let me rage before I die.

The only hope for the doomed, is no hope at all.

No other evil we know is faster than Rumor.

No other evil we know is faster than Rumor.

Death twitches my ear, live he says – I am coming.

A shifty, fickle object is woman, always.

House of Balloons’ was special because I had no deadlines, and nobody knew me, so there were no expectations.

To those who are given much, much is expected.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.
