On Storytelling:
“There’s more beauty in the truth even if it is dreadful beauty. The storytellers at the city gate twist life so it looks sweet to the lazy and the stupid and the weak and this only strengthens their infirmities and teaches nothing, cures nothing, nor does it let the heart soar.”
On Laughter:
“Laughter comes later, like wisdom teeth, and laughter at yourself comes last of all in a mad race with death, and sometimes it isn’t in time.”
