“Everything is valuable under the right conditions. To a man dying of thirst, water be more precious than gold. To a drowning man, water be of little worth and great trouble.”

“Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.”

“The man's thirst for guilt was insatiable as the desert's for water.”

“the poisonous world flows into my mouth like water into that of a drowning man”

“But what's worth more than gold?"

"Practically everything. You, for example. Gold is heavy. Your weight in gold is not very much gold at all. Aren't you worth more than that?”

“Time is more precious than gold, more precious than diamonds, more precious than oil or any valuable treasures. It is time that we do not have enough of; it is time that causes the war within our hearts, and so we must spend it wisely.”

“The universe does not care whether man unlocks its secrets or leaves them closed. Water does not care whether man bathes in it or drowns in it; whether it waters his fields or washes them away. If man masters its laws and utilizes his knowledge, water becomes a force in his favor. But enemy or servant, water does not care.”

“Everywhere water is under threat. It is our most precious resource. And there is no alternative to it.”

“The water I breathe would drown the more evolved.”

“Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst.”
