“The fortune of the man who sits also sits”
― Philip José Farmer, To Your Scattered Bodies Go
“It was the essence of life to disbelieve in death for one’s self, to act as if life would continue forever. And life had to act also as if little issues were big ones.

It was ironic that the only way to keep one’s sanity was to ignore that one was in an insane world or to act as if the world were sane.”

One Final Bonus – Philip José Farmer Quote
“These people who expect to be saints in heaven, though they were not on Earth, have ignored the wisdom of the founders of the great religions. This wisdom is that the kingdom of heaven is within you and that you do not go to heaven unless you are already in it. The magic must be wrought by you and you alone. God has no fairy wand to tap the pig and turn it into a swan.
People ignore this. And those who believe in sinners burning in hell are, perhaps, not so much concerned with going to heaven as with being sure that sinners-–others-–roast forever in the flames.”
