We were all fated to die, and so it is good that at least we can be sure our deaths today might bring about a good end, might make the world a better place.

Happiness is not a life without pain, but rather a life in which the pain is traded for a worthy price.

I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one.

He is dangerous, he is beautiful, I could drown in his understanding.

Nature can't evolve a species that hasn't the will to survive. Individuals might be bred to sacrifice themselves, but the race as a whole can never cease to exist.

It is easy to say that you can adopt the whole human race as your children, but it is not the same as living in a home with a child and shaping all you do to help him learn to be happy and whole and good. Don't live your life without ever holding a child in your arms, on your lap, in your home, and feeling a child's arms around you and hearing his voice in your ear and seeing his smile, given to you because you put it into your heart.

Humanity does not ask to be happy.It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, and then happiness as we can manage it... Take what pleasure you can in the interstices of your work, , but your work is first, learning first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing.
