"Fish are small, but do not drown in the sea. Ships are big, but sink in the ocean."
"Food, the stoking-up process, the keeping alive of an individual flame, the process that begins before birth and is continued after it by the mother, and finally taken over by the individual himself, who goes on day after day putting an assortment of objects into a hole in his face without becoming surprised or bored."

"But although life is not energy, any more than it is matter, yet it directs energy and thereby controls arrangements of matter."
"They definitely mean to maintain that the process called death is a mere severence of soul and body, and that the soul is freed rather than injured thereby."
