“Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.”
“Letting go all else, cling to the following few truths. Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant: all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed.

“Even a lie is a psychic fact.”
