F
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately
Sees to the core of life
Or passionately
Sees the surface,
The core and the surface
Are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different . . .

R
Name me no names for my disease
With uninforming breath;
I tell you I am none of these,
But homesick unto death.
A
Existence is beyond the power of words to define:
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
N
The biggest problem in the world could have been solved when it was small.
K
A leader is best when people barely know he exists.
