Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.

There is only one thing I will not concede: that it might be meaningless to strive in a good cause.

The world is not divided into two types of being, one superior and the other merely surrounding it. Being, nature, the universe - they are all one infinitely complex and mysterious metaorganism of which we are but a part, though a unique one.

The only thing I can recommend at this stage is a sense of humor, an ability to see things in their ridiculous and absurd dimensions, to laugh at others and at ourselves, a sense of irony regarding everything that calls out for parody in this world. In other words, I can only recommend perspective and distance.

It lies in human nature that where you experience your first laughs, you also remember the age kindly.

Those that say that individuals are not capable of changing anything are only looking for excuses.

Truth and love will overcome lies and hatred.
