There is no more important value than upholding the right to life in all circumstances.

The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.

Eternal life can mean utter reverence for life itself.

All lives have an equal value.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

It does not follow that the meaning must be given from above; that life and suffering must come neatly labeled; that nothing is worth while if the world is not governed by a purpose.

If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.

Human life has meaning only to that degree and as long as it is lived in the service of humanity.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It's when you go backwards through the 'begats' and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, 'Hang on, that's a big punishment for eating one lousy apple... There's a human-rights issue.'
