"Man is a question mark . . . and it is a blessing-celebrate it. It is a blessing because only man is a question mark; no dog is, no tree is. The rose bush is beautiful but not as beautiful as man, and the moon is beautiful but not as beautiful as man-because they are unconscious. Only man is consciously on a quest. And how can you be on a quest if you don't have a question mark in your being?"

"Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece."
"Philosophy, most broadly viewed, is the critical survey of existence from the standpoint of value."
"When we are not sure we are alive."
"The being that I shall be after death has no more reason to remember the man I have been since my birth than the latter to remember what I was before it."
"I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
"Because if God doesn't exist we are the creaturesof highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand thepassage of time and the value off every minute of human life. Andwhat constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would have died tomorrow or the day after oreventually . . . it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, this life . . . every second of it . . . is all we have."

"He accepts life in all its facets, in all its climates and colors. He alone does not choose he accepts life unconditionally. He does not shun love; being a man he does not run away from women. As one who has known and experienced God, he alone does not turn his face from war. He is full of love and compassion, and yet he has the courage to accept and fight a war. His heart is utterly non violent, yet he plunges into the fire and fury of violence when it becomes unavoidable. He accepts the nectar, and yet he is not afraid of poison."
