The only things you learn are the things you tame
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
Mad is the man who is forever gritting his teeth against that granite block, complete and changeless, of the past.
Once you are my friend, I am responsible for you.
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
We don’t ask to be eternal beings. We only ask that things do not lose all their meaning.
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
Perfection is not when there is no more to add, but no more to take away.
Although human life is priceless, we always act as if something had an even greater price than life... but what is that something?
Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
There is no hope of joy except in human relations.
