“About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters.”

“… you were so worried about legal and illegal that you never stopped to think about whether it was right or wrong.”

“You see around you the old masters. They were called masters, as you are doubtless aware, because they taught drawing; the epithet old was applied on account of the general leeriness of their dispositions.”

“The Master never ceased to attack the notions about God that people entertain.”

“Somebody once said, 'He's never wrong about the future, but he does tend to be wrong about how long it takes.”

“The master never let a statement about God go unchallenged. All God statements were poetic or symbolic expressions of the Unknowable; people, however, foolishly took them as literal descriptions of the divine.”

“It's impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering. Those whose lives were taken did nothing to deserve their fate. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now they're gone -- and they leave behind grieving families, and grieving classmates, and a grieving nation.”

“If you serve too many masters, you'll soon suffer.”

“It is better to suffer, than to do, wrong.”

“The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.”
