“I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one's self on this earth is not a hardship but a passtime, if we live simply and wisely”
“The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.”
“The self is simply this subject; it is the story we tell ourselves about our experiences.”
“Passion-means to live for life's sake but I am well aware you Germans live for the sake of experience. Passion means to forget ones self. But you do things in order to enrich yourselves.”
“I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience”
“i am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone.that is the true experience of freedom:having the most important thing in the world without owning it.”
