 In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other. |
| In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor. |
| In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest. |
| Instead of asking -- ''How much damage will the work in question bring about?'' why not ask -- ''How much good? How much joy?'' |
| It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir. |
| It is preposterous and unreasonable. |
| It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd. |
| It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American way of looking at things. |
| It's good to be just plain happy, it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss. |
| Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning. |
| Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine. |
| Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets. |
| Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. |
| Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement |
| Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit by it are the insane. |
