“Helping others carries its own rewards, the first of which is a return to humanity.”

“Goodness is not its own reward in this world. Those who help are sometimes destroyed first”

“We reap a reward merely in the act of helping others. We never know how, or if, that reward will come back to us. Helping is the reward; none other is needed nor better.”

“The noblest relationship is marriage, that is, love. Its nobility resides in its altruism, the desire to serve another beyond all the pleasures of the relationship; and in its refusal ever to regard the other as a thing, an object, a utilizability. Sex is an exchange of pleasures, of needs; love is a giving without return. It is this giving without return, this helping without reward, this surplus of pure good, that identifies the uniqueness of man as well as the true nature of the true marriage. This is the quintessence the great alchemy of sex is for.”

“Return something not for the possibility of a reward, but for the joy of giving a gift which you did not have to pay for.”

“Resistance is its own reward.”
