“Goodness preaches constantly, wants to change humanity, to work miracles from one day to the next, makes a show of its substance, wants to question essentials, but in fact is most often just hollow, lacking in substance, essence itself.

In general words are always more than deeds.”
― Deszo Koszstolanyi

With your left foot you shall wipe out the footprint of your right foot.”
― Marcel Schwob, El libro de Monelle

“But me no buts, we're going to make whoopee, I tell you.”
