Moderation is the secret of survival.

It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.

The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind.

A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.

Sauve qui peut. To survive
we’d all turn thief

and rascal, or so says the fox,
with her coat of an elegant scoundrel,
her white knife of a smile,
who knows just where she’s going:

to steal something
that doesn’t belong to her -
some chicken, or one more chance,
or other life.
