If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

Life is weaker than death, and death is weaker than love.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
