To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
