“What, such a horrible world has a hell?”
“What people call fate is often their own stupidity.”
“The city today is a place of disgrace, where rich clergymen preach virtue to the poor and hungry.”
“If arrows can pierce the body, words can pierce the soul.”
“If you fear a trap, set it yourself. Then those who fall into the trap will be under your control.”
“Some things are intuited with the heart. Let the heart speak; question faces, do not listen to tongues.”
“Modern universities are parking lots where the unemployment problem is camouflaged. For the first time in history people are studying until the age of thirty, this is not normal.”
