The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.

The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.

To imagine a new world is to live it daily, each thought, each glance, each step, each gesture, killing and recreating, death always a step in advance. To spit on the past is not enough. To proclaim the future is not enough. One must act as if the past were dead and the future unrealizable.

Work on one thing at a time until finished.

Every day the choice is presented to us, to live up to the spirit that is in us, or deny it.

As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.

We must not just be in the world and above the world, but also of the world. To love it for what it is... is the only task. Avoid it and you are lost. Lose yourself in it, and you are free.
