I know that death is not what a suicide really wants; in fact, he wants his old life back.

Godlessness does not evaporate in church; rather, it thickens when there is a crowd.

You can forget the need to live if there is something else to do.

You can seek help from heaven, because it is the only place with no people.

But what can we do with the madness of the big wide world, when it is disguised as wisdom? It is incurable.

Man withers without love.

I don’t understand turning the other cheek. If you don’t stand up for yourself you have only yourself to blame.

The church is horrified by the thought that it is redundant in the great renovation of mankind, which sees the hereafter being built into the here and now. No need to seek the way and the truth when one is building railways and consuming electricity, which, like the spirit, is invisible.

Do-gooders understand disease and even death, but not the fact that I want to be alone. Solitude is what they themselves fear most.

Those who hold the present moment in their hands have power.
