Agreements about what is good or not, are usually not worth much. It is very much like art, is it not an art to lead a good life?

What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion.

We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.

I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.

Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.

The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.

God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
