Our life and our death is with our neighbor. If we gain our brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalize our brother, we have sinned against Christ.

Anthony the Great

What is dying? Just what it is to put off a garment. For the body is about the soul as a garment; and after laying this aside for a short time by means of death, we shall resume it again with more splendor.

John Chrysostom

Watching a movie from beginning to end is like reading, because even though what you see are images, they are telling you a story.

Guillermo Cabrera Infante

We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is public opinion. It is held in reverence. Some think it the voice of God.

Mark Twain

Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual, thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else.
