Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

When religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Forfeit your sense of awe, let your conceit diminish your ability to revere, and the universe becomes a market place for you.

It is dangerous to take human freedom for granted, to regard it as a prerogative rather than as an obligation, as an ultimate fact rather than as an ultimate goal. It is the beginning of wisdom to be amazed at the fact of our being free.

The road to the sacred leads through the secular.

(People) can never attain fulfillment, or sense of meaning, unless it is shared, unless it pertains to other human beings.
