Man is not an omipotent master of the universe, allowed to do with impunity whatever he thinks, or whatever suits him at the moment. The world we live in is made of an immensely complex and mysterious tissue about which we know very little and which we must treat with utmost humility.

The only lost cause is one we give up on before we enter the struggle.

The salvation of the world lies in the human heart.

If you want to see your plays performed the way you wrote them, become President.

Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life.

Ownership is not a vice, not something to be ashamed of, but rather a commitment, and an instrument by which the general good can be served.

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.
