Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.

It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.

Only one feat is possible: not to have run away.

Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.

Your body must become familiar with its death - in all its possible forms and degrees - as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.

We cannot afford to forget any experience, not even the most painful.
