Each Over All

Man is more interesting than men.  God made him and not them in his image.  Each one is more precious than all.

Oh, Hell

In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.

Death is for many of us the gate of hell;  but we are inside on the way out, not outside on the way in.

…Am Too

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
―     André Gide
[This quote was originally found on one of the blogs I follow, maintained by Deodatta Shenai-Khatkhate:  Deo Volente  at:  (http://dshenai.wordpress.com/)
The actual post is:  http://dshenai.wordpress.com/2013/07/09/insightful-inspirational-quotes-about-life/
Unfortunately, in mid-January this year, Deo shutdown shop on his blog.  You can still find his postings.  There just aren’t going to be any new posts until (if) he decides to start back up.  Thank you for the time and energy you did share with us, Deo.  You are missed!  Namaste!!   —  kmab]
[Ooops!  (per my comment – this has been added for those who don’t read these posts with the comments in view…)  Obviously, rumors of the demise of Deo’s blog were greatly exaggerated (by me).  I am happy to note that Deo’s site is still up and running and still an enjoyable source of interesting information!    —    kmab]
