“Not die here in a rage, like a poisoned rat in a hole.”

“One always adds a little of one's soul to what one thinks.”

“I went away and cried to the Master of the Universe, "What have you done to me? A mind like this I need for a son? A heart I need for a son, a soul I need for a son, compassion I want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that I want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"”

“To desire to be perpetually in the society of a pretty woman until the end of one's days, is as if, because one likes good wine, one wished always to have one's mouth full of it.”

“Everyone likes happiness, no one likes pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.”

“Managers today come up against a few more communication barriers. One is the pressure of time. Listening carefully takes time, and managers have little of that to spare.

“That's when I heard the sounds of a certified genius spinning around in circles like a dog chasing its tail.”

“You have one business on earth – to save souls.”
