“In the course of the history of the earth innumerable events have occurred one after another, causing changes of states, all with certain lasting consequences. This is the basis of our developmental law, which, in a nutshell, claims that the diversity of phenomena is a necessary consequence of the accumulation of the results of all individual occurrences happening one after another... The current state of the earth, thus, constitutes the as yet most diverse final result, which of course represents not a real but only a momentary end-point.”
“Everything is touched by the holy when it is in the presence of death.”
“Legends are material to be moulded, and not facts to be recorded.”
“The word sacred comes from sacrifice, to cut up. That means that in order to have a sacred journey, you have to give up something, sacrifice; but few people today in the West want to hear about that.

“A good death does honour to a whole life.”
“All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire”
“Scars are proof we can can survive”
“We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.”
