“The worth of a human being lies in the ability to extend oneself, to go outside oneself, to exist in and for other people.”

“The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.”

“Lying tears hurt others. Lying smiles hurt oneself”

“If it is necessary sometimes to lie to others, it is always despicable to lie to oneself.”

“Material things have closed boundaries; they are not accessible, cannot be penetrated, by things outside themselves. But one's existence as a spiritual being involves being and remaining oneself and at the same time admitting and transforming into oneself the reality of the world. No other material thing can be present in the space occupied by a house, a tree, or a fountain pen. But where there is mind, the totality of things has room; it is "possible that in a single being the comprehensiveness of the whole universe may dwell.”

“I read somewhere; while God still existed one sustained a dialogue with God, and now that He no longer exists one has to sustain a dialogue with other people, I guess, or, better still, with oneself, that is to say, one talks or mumbles to oneself.”
