To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.

Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.

Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others: 'Don't love me!!' But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: 'Don't love me and be faithful to me!!'

Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.

To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.

But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.

We all have a weakness for beauty.
