Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.

All men are in need of help and depend on one another. Human solidarity is the necessary condition for the unfolding of any one individual.

We are concerned with things. We are concerned with success. We are concerned with money. We are concerned with instrumentalities.

Every act of irreverence for life, every act which neglects life, which is indifferent to and wastes life, is a step towards the love of death. This choice man must make at every minute. Never were the consequences of the wrong choice as total and as irreversible as they are today. Never was the warning of the Bible so urgent: 'I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, that you and your children may live.'

Productive work, love and thought are possible only if a person can be, when necessary, quiet and alone. To be able to listen to oneself is the necessary condition for relating oneself to others.

The human passions transform man from a mere thing into a hero, into a being that in spite of tremendous handicaps tries to make sense of life.

There is nothing inhuman, evil, or irrational which does not give some comfort, provided it is shared by a group.
