“There is no other human activity that depends so much on chance as love.”

“To make the existence and coherent structure of this Universe depend upon automatic activity and upon chance is against all good sense.”

“I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.”

“Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.”

“Our chances of survival were entirely dependent on our ability and willingness to dominate others.”

“We human beings are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason, it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.”
