“Honesty is admired, and starves.”
― Juvenal, Satires, Book I

“Grace? Undeserved kindness? Blessings? Whatever we call it, I'm pretty sure we get doses of luck more than we'll ever know.”
― Jon Foreman

“What a laugh, though. To think that one human being could ever really know another. You could get used to each other, get so habituated that you could speak their words right along with them, but you never know why other people said what they said or did what they did, because they never even know themselves. Nobody understands anybody.”
― Orson Scott Card, Shadow of the Hegemon

“Those who live as though God sets the rules are not going by their own rules. That is the self-sacrifice, or selflessness, that peace more often than not requires. Those who insist on going by their own rules cannot make that sacrifice. They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
