I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.

Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.

I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best.
