“What Sri Krishna is saying, is that it's a terrible mistake to believe that this life we lead is real. Obviously it's real, but it doesn't last very long in its realness. It's very ephemeral and to mistaken the forms of life, the shapes that life takes, for reality, is not wise.” BelieveLongRealRealityLastsFormMistakeWiseTerribleShapesThis LifeHinduismMistakenKrishnaEphemeralRealness Author:Frederick Lenz

“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.” LongStillsEndsPainSpeakHellFireHabitTerribleSorrowOvercomingWeightVarietyThis LifeFlamesIntensityTormentSinking Book:The Best of James Joyce Source: The Best of James Joyce
“There is no action of man in this life that is not the beginning of so long a chain of consequences as no human providence is high enough to give a man a prospect in the end. And in this chain, there are linked together both pleasing and unpleasing events in such manner as he that will do anything for his pleasure must engage himself to suffer all the pains annexed to it.” MenGivingHumansLongEndsEnoughActionPainTogetherSufferingPleasureEventsConsequenceChainsThis LifeProvidenceLinked Book:The Essential Leviathan: A Modernized Edition Source: The Essential Leviathan: A Modernized Edition
