“Since the human being forces himself to love the earth he lives on, and since the earth does not commit wrongdoings and atrocities like the human being does, he soon realizes that the earth is not deserving of love, nor the majority of the people that live on it, but rather a very small –and almost non-existing– percentage of its habitants are worthy of love. The catastrophe occurs when he loves and does not receive any love in return. That, to me, seems like the most beautiful way to kill oneself.”

“One thing that differentiates actual victimhood from a victim mentality is the presence of Envy. The former requires outer work while the latter, inner work. Resist becoming too resentful in life to learn and discern excellence.”

“In an upper room two women sat looking out at the rain. The younger held the hand of the elder; but in this room also there was silence. They were silent, for they had seen their old life crumble like a swallow's nest in the rain, and they had not yet seen the possibility of any new life rise before them. So they sat and looked at the rain, and it seemed that there was nothing for them to do but go forward forever and ever the rain beating about them, their feet deep down in a drift of dead leaves.”
