If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.

All growth is a leap in the dark.

The blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

I wanted to die; I wanted to surrender because I saw no sense in struggling. I felt that nothing would be proved, substantiated, added or subtracted by continuing an existence which I had not asked for.

Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.

The world is the mirror of myself dying.

If I were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage I would close the book then and there and go for a walk. I hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book. I would tease it along, delay the inevitable as long as possible, But always, when I hit a great passage, I would stop reading immediately. Out I would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud.
