Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.

I have no faith in my works. I know time's ocean, its lashing of waves, day by day, will erase them. My faith is in my self.

If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

A stray fact: insects are not drawn to candle flames, they are drawn to the light on the far side of the flame, they go into the flame and sizzle to nothingness because they're so eager to get to the light on the other side.
