Out of the wreck I rise.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

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

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

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

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

Human beings must always be on the watch for the coming of wonders.
