Time spent with cats is never wasted.

From error to error one discovers the entire truth.

In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart.

Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity.

I no longer believe that William Shakespeare the actor from Stratford was the author of the works that have been ascribed to him.

Religion restricts the play of choice and adaptation, since it imposes equally on everyone its own path to the acquisition of happiness and protection from suffering. Its technique consists in depressing the value of life and distorting the picture of the real world in a delusional manner - which presupposes an intimidation of the intelligence. At this price, by forcibly fixing them in a state of psychical infantilism and by drawing them into a mass-delusion, religion succeeds in sparing many people an individual neurosis. But hardly anything more.

One becomes gradually accustomed to a new realization of the nature of 'happiness': one has to assume happiness when Fate does not carry out all its threats simultaneously.
