Quotes by Knud Rasmussen (?)

“The greatest peril of life lies in the fact that human food consists entirely of souls. All the creatures that we to kill and eat, all those that we have to strike down and destroy to make clothes for ourselves, have souls, souls that do not perish with the body and which must therefore be pacified lest they revenge themselves on us for taking away their bodies”

“Therefore I say this : in sooth, you may come to feel sorrow; but remember in that day that the happiness you have lost is not the only happiness life has to give ; and if you believe this—and you will one day—then later you will understand that the hardest and heaviest part of your sorrow before arose from your own obstinacy.”
