Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.
