Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

Think about yourself at least once in your life. Otherwise you may miss the best comedy in this world.

I know what good morals are, but you're supposed to disregard good morals when you're living in a crazy, bad world. If you're in hell, how can you live like an angel? You're surrounded by devils, trying to be an angel? That's like suicide.

The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
