For to desire is better than to possess, the finality of the end was dreaded as deeply as it was desired.

Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.

We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

I shall always be a priest of love.

Life is beautiful, as long as it consumes you. When it is rushing through you, destroying you, life is gorgeous, glorious. It's when you burn a slow fire and save fuel, that life's not worth having.

For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.

What the eye doesn't see and the mind doesn't know, doesn't exist.
