“Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance”

“There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.”

“Life has no meaning a priori… It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.”

“I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself by being a cabbage. Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage – unless you have an agent and pay him a commission. Nothing is free anymore to sell itself or give itself away. These days, Countess, every cabbage has its pimp.”

“We only pass this way once..unless our significant other is reading the map..”

“A word has power in and of itself. It comes from nothing into sound and meaning; it gives origin to all things.”
