Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?

I don't believe in nirvana. If nirvana was handed to us on a silver platter, this would be the first day of our struggle to keep it.

I'm not allowing my perspective to be dictated by the dominant culture.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Life would pall if it were all sugar; salt is bitter if taken by itself; but when tasted as part of the dish, it savours the meat. Difficulties are the salt of life.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
