“The life most of us live are lives we are forced to live by immediate needs, influences, and pressures.”
“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”
“The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould”
“Life doesn’t owe us anything. We only owe ourselves, to make the most of the life we are living, of the time we have left, and to live in gratitude.”
“True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: 'I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live”
“We let life live us, instead of us living life.”
