Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
It's a good world if you don't weaken.
A murderer is regarded by the conventional world as something almost monstrous, but a murderer to himself is only an ordinary man. It is only if the murderer is a good man that he can be regarded as monstrous.
The world doesn't make any heroes anymore.
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Suffering is not increased by numbers; one body can contain all the suffering the world can feel.
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
The world was in her heart already, like the small spot of decay in a fruit.
