“The task is to learn how to enjoy everyday life without diminishing other people's chances to enjoy theirs.”

“The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.”

“Once more there sounded within me the terrible warning that there is only one life for all men, that there is only one life for all men, that there is no other and that all that can be enjoyed must be enjoyed here. In eternity no other chance will be given to us.”

“Do not enjoy yourself. Enjoy dances and theaters and joy-rides and champagne and oysters; enjoy jazz and cocktails and night-clubs if you can enjoy nothing better; enjoy bigamy and burglary and any crime in the calendar, in preference to the other alternative; but never learn to enjoy yourself.”

“Single is not a status, it is a word that describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others.”

“The good things of life were made to enjoy. Enjoying a thing means sharing it with others.”
