For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.'

What if man is not really a scoundrel, man in general, I mean, the whole race of mankind-then all the rest is prejudice, simply artificial terrors and there are no barriers and it's all as it should be.

When I look back at the past and think of all the time I squandered in error and idleness,... then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift... every minute could have been an eternity of happiness! If only youth knew! Now my life will change; now I will be reborn.

You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again.

Beauty would save the world.

The absurd is only too necessary on earth. The world stands on absurdities.

Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also.
