“Place in matter and in flesh the
least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass
away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption.
Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and
sorrow by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is
unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.”
“When you laugh, laugh like hell. And
when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon
enough.”
William Saroyan
