"I know that souls are like plants, and that plants need rain for sustenance, though the rain require by the soul is a rain of a different kind, I suppose. Faith, knowledge, hope, love. These are the waters that sustain the plant of human life, the life of self; and I am here to tell you that these things are not present in a person's life, everything in the soul of that person dies, even if the body wrapped around it goes on living."
