Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

There isn’t much better in this life than finding a way to spend a few hours in conversation with people you respect and love. You have to carve this time out of your life because you aren’t really living without it.

No life that breathes with human breath<br> Has ever truly longed for death.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Happiness is possible only to a rational man, the man who desires nothing but rational goals, seeks nothing but rational values and finds his joy in nothing buy rational actions.

Love is our response to our highest values. Love is self-enjoyment. The noblest love is born out of admiration of another’s values.

Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it.
