"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."

"To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness."

"Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of happy mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give."

"The secret of happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible, horrible, horrible."

"There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal as a human being to human beings; remember your humanity, and forget the rest."
