We don't love to be loved in return; we love to love.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.

Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!

There is nothing quite so satisfying, and so healing, as a good cry.

The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love."
