"...each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden - forbidden for him. It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet."	Ability, Glory, Honor
"Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them."	Destruction, Help
"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else."	Knowledge, Love, Power
"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."	Art
