After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.
-Cato The Elder

God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.

There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart through the course of a whole life.
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
