Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.
Albert SchweitzerOur age is bent on trying to make the barren tree of skepticism fruitful by tying the fruits of truth on its branches.
Albert SchweitzerWe 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.
Albert SchweitzerAffirmation of the world, which means affirmation of the will-to-live that manifests itself around me, is only possible if I devote myself to other life.
Albert SchweitzerThe elemental fact, present in our consciousness every moment of our existence, is: I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live.... The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life, hamper the development of life
