"Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet."
"The vast material displacements the machine has made in our physical environment are perhaps in the long run less important than its spiritual contributions to our culture."
"Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten."
"A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind."
