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

"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already 3-parts dead."

"Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or what you think could have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts."

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

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