I'm a slave to this leaf in a diary that lists what I must do, what I must say, every half hour.

There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse.

We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

My dear, old age is like an airplane flying in a storm. Once you're in it there's nothing you can do. You can't stop a plane, you can't stop a storm, you can't stop time. So you might as well take it easy, with wisdom.
