All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

Thirst for existence, O monks, has a specific condition, it is nourished by something, it also does not go without support. And what is that nourishment? It is ignorance.

Life starts with a capital letter, and then dies with a period. How long and fancy we decide to prolong it is up to us.

No one has yet discovered any warlike purpose to be served by the theory of numbers or relativity, and it seems very unlikely that anyone will do so for many years.

I can accept the theory of relativity as little as I can accept the existence of atoms.

Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.
