<p>Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase$$$ just take the first step.</p>

<p>The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.</p>

<p>Are we fallen angels who didn't want to believe that nothing is nothing and so were born to lose our loved ones and dear friends one by one and finally our own life$$$ to see it proved?</p>

<p>Plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.</p>

<p>Silence is of the gods; only monkeys chatter.</p>

<p>Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.</p>

<p>One's life is a heavy price to pay for being born.</p>

<p>I can sympathize with people's pains$$$ but not with their pleasure. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.</p>

<p>Every man's memory is his private literature.</p>

<p>Youth fades$$$ love droops$$$ the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all.</p>
