The key to solving complex problems is to ask the right causal questions.
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
