“Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf
For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things,
And you shall bless darkness as you would bless light.”
― The Madman: His Parables and Poems

“Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all!
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall:
Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none:
And some condemned for a fault alone.”
― Measure for Measure

And night devour its flaming hues alway?”

“Self-sacrifice, within the context of revolutionary ction, is an expression of the very highest understanding of life, and of the struggle to make life worthy of a human being. The love of life for a person becomes a love for the life of his people's masses, and his rejection that their life persists in being full of continuous misery, suffering, hardship. Hence, his understanding of life becomes a social virtue, capable of convincing the militant fighter that self-sacrifice is a redemption of his people's life. This is a maximum expression of attachment to life.”
