A willingness to laugh at itself is what distinguishes
a compassionate religion from a cult.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
All men and women are born, live, suffer and die;
what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams,
whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things,
and what we do to make them come about.
We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents.
We do not choose our historical epoch,
the country of our birth,
or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
- Joseph Epstein
Above all, don't lie to yourself.
The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie
comes to a point that he cannot

and so loses all respect for himself and for others.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Books are to be distinguished by the grandeur of their topics
even more than by the manner in which they are treated.

is entirely without fault.
