The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.

At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.

We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human.

Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.

We wander through this life together in a semi-darkness in which none of us can distinguish exactly the features of his neighbour. Only from time to time, through some experience that we have of our companion, or through some remark that he passes, he stands for a moment close to us, as though illuminated by a flash of lightning. Then we see him as he really is.

Reverence for life, veneratio vitæ, is the most direct and at the same time the profoundest achievement of my will-to-live.
