To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.

Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.

Love is an active power in man; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unite him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness, yet it permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity.

The individual citizen has very little possibility of having any influence - of making his opinion felt in the decision-making.

Integrity simply means not violating one's own identity.

Man may be defined as the animal that can say ''I,'' that can be aware of himself as a separate entity.

Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.
