“Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes.

“The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.”

“It is better to know several basic rules of life than to study many unnecessary sciences.
