“Keep the Faith Sometimes I'd like to be the type who lives my life without a backward glance – then I would dance through days unburdened, fancy-free. Instead, I'm me. You know, the one who counts the cracks on every wall and then recounts them backwards lest it fall (knowing full well the chances are it will). Still, I have moments when I just let go – then I stop counting cracks and count on faith. You ask if the wall falls? Surprise! It's safe.”

“Judgment Day refers to every moment in life when we must decide between doing good deeds and bad deeds. This alone shapes our destiny in the next moment. Judgment Day does not refer to any fictitious event in the calendar of God when people will rise from graves and line up in a queue to be allotted some Heaven or Hell. God does not need to do such shows and employ some prophets as lawyers.”

“Fortune, because of whom all good leaves us, was thereupon born, and was complicit in the whole affair. She did this because of her fickleness. And I believe her to be the daughter of the devil because I do not find any writing or text—not prose, not verse—that says or proves that God, who makes all good, beneficial works out of nothing, ever formed or loved Fortune. So I believe that the devil made her, so that she would undo all good and put man in servitude, because there is no shame, damage, or misfortune that does not come to man because of Fortune (may all remember that!). And she does even greater harm to the best than to the worst, night and day. Her disruptive influence will not be short-lived; rather, her control will last until Judgment Day”
