Man is the only animal that can be bored.

Boredom is nothing but the experience of a paralysis of our productive powers.

Love is active penetration of the other person, in which my desire to know is stilled by union. In the act of fusion I know you, I know myself, I know everybody - and I "know" nothing.

Happiness should be something which results from the creative, genuine, intense relatedness - awareness, responsiveness, to everything in life - to man, to nature.

There is only one reality: the act of feeling ourselves in the process of making choices.

To love somebody is not just a strong feeling - it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise.

The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist.
