We must develop a deeper interest and greater understanding of the people we meet here or abroad. Like us, they are passengers on board that mysterious ship called life.

The sooner we learn to be jointly responsible, the easier the sailing will be.

I can see now that a concept or even a feeling makes no sense unless out of our substance we spin around it a web of references, of relationships, of values.

Every time I took a long leave from home, I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather, take possession of what is my birthright, my inheritance.

The timelessness of a concept has to be woven into the running warp of dying time, vertical power has to be wedded to the horizontal earth.

We want to feel that this earth is all ours, like our parents' house when we were children.

From the beginning, I wanted to live my own life, and patiently I shored up that desire against wind and tide.
