Art

If my artistic endeavors need an explanation, than regrettably, my intentions have been an undeniable failure.
M.R.M.

Faith

Faith is a dangerous concept, for it can make men believe that which they cannot prove.
M.R.M.

Alone

Born alone, think alone, die alone.
M.R.M.

Moving Target

Life is a moving target that we blindly shoot at, hoping to stop it long enough to enjoy it.
M.R.M.

Free Will

The more I searched for the evidence of my own free will, the more I perceived the cage, which imprisoned the ideas of every action that I thought I could freely commit.
M.R.M.

Addictions

Pick your addictions carefully for they will possess you, if not consume you. That said, it is better to pick a worthy one than a destructive one.
M.R.M.

The Truth Emerges

When all the lies have been eliminated, the truth emerges.
M.R.M.

Religion

Religions are like drugs, we keep creating new ones and redesigning old ones.
M.R.M.

Happiness

With all the advancements that humankind has made, I wonder whether we are any happier than the day we evolved into comprehending what happiness really is. I doubt it.

The Burden

Eventually, all lies under the burden of their own weight lead to the truth.

Blind Faith

When all hope has been extinguished and the blackest of clouds surround us, blind faith only leads us further in the darkness.

High Ideals

The higher the ideal, the further it lies beyond our reach.

Knowledge

Knowledge without understanding knows little.
M.R.M.

The Footman

I will rest easy when the footman arrives at the gate of my departure, for there are no bags to pack.
M.R.M.

Success and Failure

I have learned little from my successes and almost everything from my failures.
M.R.M.

Folly

Without critical contemplation, to believe the word of any said prophet, clairvoyant, or proposed deity — any spiritual, educated, or ordinary man — is folly.
M.R.M.

Destiny

There is no destiny, but there are highly probable outcomes. But even these events can be foiled by the intervention of chance.
M.R.M.

Fear

There is no greater weight to lift, no higher wall to climb, and no deeper depth to plumb, than that of fear.
M.R.M.

Afterlife

It's not that I object to an afterlife, it's just that I can't believe in something that has no verifiable support other than wishful thinking.
M.R.M.

Dark Corners

Lies live cowering in dark corners, fearful that the light of truth will expose their deception.
M.R.M.

Mouth to Ear

So many brilliant ideas that travel from mouth to ear, become a shadow of themselves on their journey.
M.R.M.

The Truth

Once I learned that all human beings lie every day — many without even knowing it, I understood the truth.
