It is always important to have something yet to do in life.

Life requires of man spiritual elasticity, so that he may temper his efforts to the chances that are offered.

These tasks, and therefore the meaning of life, differ from man to man, and from moment to moment. Thus it is impossible to define the meaning in life in a general way.

A man's concern, even his despair, over the worthwhileness of life is an existential distress but by no means a mental disease.

Sports allow men to build up situations of emergency. What he then demands of himself is unnecessary achievement - and unnecessary sacrifice. He artificially creates the tension that he has been spared by affluent society.

It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.
