Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

Set wide the window. Let me drink the day.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

My turn shall also come: I sense the spreading of a wing.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
