Believing happiness to be in the eternal thing is called the enlightened vision (samkit).

The law of nature is such that everyone gets happiness according to their needs. The ‘tender’ that everyone (of us) fills out, is indeed fulfilled.

The ‘egoism’ that is used to hurt others will hurt one’s own self. The ‘egoism’ that is used to give happiness to others becomes cause for his own happiness.

The world is not that black and white, Rachel. There are no moral absolutes. It is complex.

I represent the jolly mass of mankind. I am the happy and reckless Christian.

Without moving beyond a mere copy, there is no artistry, no originality or artistic advancement; only mechanics.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.

It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.
