The world is being created and destroyed in this very moment. Whoever you met will reappear, whoever you lost will return. Don’t betray the grace that was bestowed on you.

Monday morning and there's one less donut than there should be.

It's not great for your career to be known as the person who can spot the difference between six and seven donuts at a glance.

The shoddy work of despair, the pointless work of pride, equally betray Creation. They are wastes of life.

If I am traitor, who did I betray? I gave all my information to the American public, to American journalists who are reporting on American issues. If they see that as treason, I think people really need to consider who they think they're working for. The public is supposed to be their boss, not their enemy.
Edward Snowden
