Quote

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy.

For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.
