I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion misery and death.

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it.
