Η μεγάλη του θλίψη δεν οφειλόταν τόσο στη μοναξιά όδο στο ότι οι άλλοι γλάροι δε θέλησαν να πιστέψουν στο μεγαλείο της πτήσης που τους περίμενε. Είψαν αρνηθεί ν' ανοίξουν τα μάτια τους και να δουν.

Η ανευθυνότητα δεν αποδίδει. Η ζωή είναι το άγνωστο και τίποτε δεν μπορεί να γίνει γνωστό, εκτός από το γεγονός ότι έρχομαστε στον κόσμο για να τρώμε και να παραμένουμε ζωντανοί όσο περισσότερο μπορούμε.

One day the world will be so badly wounded that those who try to repair it will only be called "close-minded.

The walls we build around us to keep the noise out only reverberate the same ideas, notions and beliefs we enforce, leaving no room for debate. When we opt out of an argument we are choosing to ignore opposing views thereby failing to understand the other.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

In my opinion, anyone who claims to speak for God is probably talking out of the wrong end, anyway.

To be more precise about it, it is neither close nor open-mindedness but wisdom, discernment, and a pure heart that God wants.

The strength of one's opinion should not exceed their knowledge on the matter.
