He likes to pretend he lives inside the comic books. I guess a fake life inside a cartoon is a lot better than his real life. Sherman Alexie
The Orphic symbols center on the singing god who lives to defeat death and who liberates nature, so that the constrained and constraining matter releases the beautiful and playful forms of animate and inanimate things.

Some of the best people that ever lived have been as destitute as I am; and if you are Christian, you ought not to consider poverty a crime. Charlotte Bronte
So if reality is all a spell, and you don't really want what you think you want... If you have no free will. You don't really know what you know. You don't really love who you only think you love. What do you have left to live for? Chuck Palahniuk
Do you expect sincerity in man when hypocrisy is the very keynote of human nature? We are nurtured on it; we are schooled in it, we live by it; and we rarely realize it? Rafael Sabatini
Jesus Christ, with His divine understanding of every understanding of our human nature, understood that not all men were called to the religious life, that by far the vast majority were forced to live in the world, and, to a certain extent, for the world. James Joyce
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Henry David Thoreau
