“We can only begin to live when we conceive life asTragedy.”

“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.”

“This flesh in which we live is nothing more than a cocoon, and only when we step out of it do we truly begin to live.”

“We do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.”

“It is not true that 'we have only one life to live'; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.”

“It is not true we have only one life to love, if we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.”
