Living is having and following a purpose. That's all.

To be happy, one only must be able to confront, which is to say, experience, those things that are. Unhappiness is only this the inability to confront that which is.

Y'know, we're all wasting our time writing this hack science fiction! You wanta make real money, you gotta start a religion!

It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.

I have all the world around me. My walls are 180 East Longitude and 90 North and 90 South Latitude.... Adventure is my guidon.

I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days. These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. And I am afraid I am just as delighted as he is.

Life in its highest state is understanding.
